Hobart is the capital city of Tasmania. It is a city with a long stretch of marinas of all shapes and sizes, leading on to the d'Entrecasteaux channel. It is the arrival city of the famous Sydney to Hobart yacht race and boasts two of the finest Yacht Clubs for hosting the boaties arriving from all over the country to enjoy the Taste of Tasmania, New Year's Eve fireworks and the Boxing day cricket match broadcast near the marina. Bustling cafes and restaurants, a stunning view over the channel, pleasant walks to Battery Point, the original settlement of pioneers, and a long esplanade around rocky outcrops, make this city a pleasure to pass through on your way to explore the inland and coastland of this intriguing island.
Tasmania - the apple island - is a really beautiful island to explore on a Slow Tour.

The many lakes and mountainous surrounds make interesting and stunningly beautiful walking and cycling experiences.
