Map of Hobart, Tas 7000

Australia's smallest State capital and second oldest city, Hobart was founded in 1804, just 16 years after the settlement of Sydney. Today, more than 90 National Trust-classified buildings remain. Situated on the River Derwent, Hobart has a relaxed harbourside lifestyle, and each New Year sees the excitement of the finish of the Sydney-Hobart Yacht Race. Dominating the city's landscape is the towering Mount Wellington (1270m), often covered in snow in winter months. Visit Salamanca Place which consists of a splendid row of Georgian sandstone warehouses dating back to the 1830s, now converted into cafes, craft shops, galleries and restaurants. Also a feature to see is The Shot Tower which was built in 1870. It is no longer used for the manufacture of lead shot, but offers a good lookout over the city which is on the Channel Highway about 10 km south of Hobart.
