Mount Field National Park: Just over one hour’s drive from Hobart, a stunning landscape of glaciated valleys and Dolerite Mountains awaits. An area rich in natural beauty, Tasmania’s oldest national park is home to a large population of native birds and marsupial inhabitants, including the Tasmanian Devil. The amazing Russell Falls are an absolute must-see for visitors to this magnificent park.

Mount Wellington: A visit to Tasmania would be incomplete without taking a trip to the summit of Mount Wellington. Sitting just to the west of central Hobart, the incredible lookout points at the top of the mountain can be reached in around 30 minutes from the city. The 1270-metre climb is well worth the effort. With near-360-degree views forming a panorama that’s truly breathtaking, the vista covers a wide variety of landscapes including Hobart itself, the harbour, the waters of the Derwent River and the vibrant green of the Derwent Valley.

Port Arthur: Located on the tip of the Tasman Peninsular, approximately 80 minutes from Hobart, stands the World Heritage-listed Port Arthur. A former penal colony where Tasmania’s most infamous convicts were sentenced to hard labour, Port Arthur is now one of the island’s most popular tourist attractions. Visitors can tour the guard tower, sandstone church, hospital, prison and museum to gain a greater understanding of the hardships of convict life.
