2/18 - Hobart, Tasmania, Australia

Hobart is the capital of Tasmania and Australia’s second oldest city after Sydney. Hobart looks far older because it has so many elegant, albeit convict built, 19th-century buildings. The city is situated on the Derwent River and at the foot of Mount Wellington.¹

This was our second visit to Hobart. Last time we visited the Bonorong Wildlife Park, which was awesome, but we didn’t really have time to see much of the city. This time we wandered around the city’s shops and parks, and tried some local beer and hard cider, along with a great lunch at a local restaurant. Lovely little harbor!
