How about Australia’s best market, every Saturday at Salamanca Place in Hobart’s dockland?

Or a concert performance by our Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra, one of the world’s finest small orchestras?

Or a visit to the nation’s biggest craft fair in Deloraine every November?

Each month of the year, there’s fun and festivity. Hobart’s Summer Festival is two weeks of flavours, music and sunshine, with the Taste of Tasmania and the thrilling finish in late December of the world’s finest blue-water ocean racing classic, the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race. The Tamar Valley Festival of the Senses incorporating Launceston’s Festivale is the north’s cultural focus in February. The Australian Three Peaks Race and  Targa Tasmania add excitement to April, the Suncoast Jazz Festival brightens June, and Blooming Tasmania’s botanical and floral delights bring touring routes alive with colour from springtime to autumn. Whenever you visit, you’ll find events, action, interest and excitement.   (CLICK HERE FOR CALENDAR OF EVENTS)

Mount Wellington
Mount Wellington dominates Hobart's skyline.  1,271 metres high, it is one of the tallest peaks in Tasmania and in winter it's often capped in snow.  It's mot hard to get to the top- a road goes straight to the summit.  Lots of people prefer to climb Mount Wellington along one of the tracks but be ready for sudden changes in weather.  Once up there, feast your eyes on a spectacular view of the city and the River Derwent.  A fine reward for your effort.
