Hobart - Board a ferry at Hobart's Brooke Street Pier and
sail upstream to the daring Museum of Old and New Art, or MONA.
Australia's largest privately owned museum is cut into sandstone
cliffs in the northern suburbs, with an art collection as eclectic
as it is provocative. The food might almost qualify as art at MONA's
onsite restaurant, Source. Directly beneath the restaurant is the
cellar door for MONA's Moorilla winery, with wines produced from
the vineyards that adjoin the gallery. Be sure to try MONA's Moo
Brew beer range while here also.

from the city centre to reach the summit of Mount Wellington, almost
1300 metres (4265 feet) above the city. The view of Hobart and its
surrounds is exceptional. Grab a coffee halfway up the mountain
at the Bentwood Coffee caravan, and make a stop at Australia's oldest
brewery, Cascade, on the way back down.

burgeoning whisky industry at the cosy Lark Distillery, where distillery

Sullivans Cove Whisky is in Cambridge, near Hobart Airport. For
a craft beer at the source, pull up a stool at the central Shambles
Brewery or the Hobart Brewing Company.

its beautiful working waterfront. From the old sandstone warehouses
of Salamanca Place a stroll along the docks will take you past the

Douglas Mawson's huts in Antarctica. Every year, in the week after
Christmas, the docks fill with yachts from the classic Sydney to
Hobart Yacht Race.
Hobart - Kayak to fish and chips - Hobart's main waterfront
area, Constitution Dock, is lined with fish punts selling seafood,
and the best way to arrive for some food is by kayak. Roaring 40s

along the edge of the city's most historic suburb, Battery Point,
and into the docks for a floating fish-and-chip experience.

famous convict penitentiary, Port Arthur, is just 90 minutes drive

Brewery, is the World Heritage-listed Cascades Female Factory, where
thousands of women were imprisoned. In the city centre take a tour
of the Tench prisoner barracks.
