Hobart

I live here, so I’m off to a great start! But I’ve never really explored much of Hobart’s history or other tourist destinations. I want that to change!

I came here to Tassie for a holiday 6.5 years ago and moved here 6 years ago cause I loved it so much, even as I was flying over the island for the first time I knew I’d love living here.

My husband grew up here, our kids are going to grow up here, I’m going to die here :) so yes, it’s a fantastic place and since moving here my travel bug has been dormant.

It’s a hole, now that the city burnt down. I mean Myer, of course.

Hobart is the kind of place that you go to live if you want things nice and quiet. We have fresh air, great food and a nice easy pace. This is not the place to live if you want big city hustle and bustle. The weather is good not to cold and not to hot. Lots of old building, in good shape, but also many new buildings. In some ways a very parochial place but also a very progressive place. Not necessarily the place to come if you are single.

didnt like it at all

Never been to Tasmania … would love to see the island and see what all the fuss is about!!

;)

I live here LOL

Hobarts a great place, very clean, very old and yet modern is mixed with the very old. The city is fantastic, so are the people.

Lots of wilderness near by

The beer is fantastic, Cascade Brewery is the local and they have beers on the island that they don’t export. It’s worth it just for that.

Try the fish and chips on the wharf, they’re superb

I’ve been here three times and it’s a very nice place. Pretty waterfront, great food, close to some pretty national parks that you can get to within a day or two, friendly people who aren’t in a hurry to get somewhere.

I just missed the 10 days on the Island festival the time before last that I was there (I saw about 10 minutes of it), so I’ll have to go back to see it properly.

The last time I was there I stayed in a backpackers and met lots of interesting people. You get more adventurous tourists there and so more interesting conversation. I talked to one girl for about 5 hours straight when I just went down to watch some tv.

This is a pretty nice little city, autumn here is pretty, i live over the bridge from the city but don’t actually go in that often. There are plenty of sights to see around here.
