Such a many things you can do here in Hobart, like:
- Sullivan's Cove, the waterfront area, is a delightful spot to begin exploring the city. Here you'll find Parliament House and the old sandstone warehouses of Salamanca Place.
- Nearby is the historic Theatre Royal, Australia's oldest continually operating theatre.
- There are many historic buildings on nearby Battery Point and a walk up Kelly's Steps from Salamanca Place is also rewarding. Arthur's Circus is a settlement of quaint and charming workers' cottages.
- The Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens is home to a variety of native and exotic plants.
- There is an excellent collection of colonial art and natural history at the nearby Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery.
- The Old Hobart Gaol in Campbell Street will take you back in time, especially if you opt for the Ghost Tour.
- For a variety of fine restaurants, head to Salamanca Place or Elizabeth St in North Hobart.
- For those who like a flutter, Australia's first casino at Wrest Point may beckon.

Australia is also home to the world's only monotremes, the platypus and the echidna. Monotreme, basically, means 'one hole'. They have only one orifice for all bodily functions - waste removal and reproduction - which really isn't the greatest of designs. Nor is the Tasmanian devil when it comes to responsible child rearing. The female gives birth to between 30 and 40 tiny 'devils' but only has 4 nipples on offer, so it's survival of the fittest or quickest!
