Tasmania's small, handsome capital on the Derwent: sandstone warehouses at Salamanca Place and its Saturday market, the view from the summit of kunanyi / Mount Wellington, MONA (the Museum of Old and New Art) by fast ferry, and day trips to the Port Arthur convict site and Bruny Island. Cool even in summer and cold in winter; there are no passenger trains in Tasmania, so you fly in or come by the Spirit of Tasmania ferry and drive.

  • Salamanca Market (Saturdays)
  • Sunrise from kunanyi / Mount Wellington
  • MONA by fast ferry
  • Port Arthur convict site
  • Bruny Island food trail
