We only had three days in Hobart but it was still enough to see what this fabulous island has to offer. From the historic architecture, the fabulous art, country feel and stunning nature.
Every night after dinner we'd go hunting for Bioluminence, and were lucky enough to find it two of the 3 nights, but not lucky enough to get good photos of it.
We drove an hour out of town to see some convict heritage and the stunning scenery, as well as spot some seals and other wildlife. They had followed a mother and baby orca the day before but alas no luck for us.
The jagged rock formation and towering cliffs were stunning.
We were in a small inflatable so were able to go inside some narrow sea caves too.
On the last morning before checkout, I went for a two hour walk through the city and the botanic gardens and basically felt I was far away in the countryside and bush. It was beautiful.
This is looking at Parliament House. Hobart is a fabulous gateway and Tasmania is definitely top of my list to explore further, with more time.
Sharing this old post as I'm going to Dark Mofo, and I'm getting quite excited. I still need a ticket to Night Mass so am checking the resale site each day, which is building my anticipation!
