The Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens is Australia's second-oldest established in 1818. These gardens are home to the largest collection of mature conifers in the Southern Hemisphere and it also has the only subantarctic plant house in the world. A great restaurant and cafe is available onsite and it is a wonderful place to visit all year round. Visit our website for more information.

We had breakfast at the Casino ( excellent!) and then we walked to Long Beach. It was a nice walk and a good place to cool off. Very clean and lovely clear water. It was also sheltered from the wind. Afterwards we walked back to Elizabeth Pier, in Hobart, to our hotel.

What an absolute delight to be able to witness first-hand sub-Antarctic plant species from the comfort of the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens. This was a quick stop on our plan, but certainly worthy of a mention. The room is chille

Apart from walking along The Derwent River, venture up into the streets of Sandy Bay. The homes and gardens will amaze you. The eatery's throughout Sandy Bay are varied but from my experience all have awesome food.
10. Mount Wellington

The drive to the top of Mt Wellington (Kunanyi) is scary in parts as the road meanders up the mountainside. Drive carefully and beware oncoming traffic. The view at the top is well worth the nerves on the way up. The views from the top of the mountain were spectacular. Be warned that at this elevation of 1,271 m (4,170 ft) above sea level, the temperature dropped from 20c in Hobart to 5c on the mountain with a wind chill of -1c, bring warm clothes and a camera! The viewing platform over Hobart is fantastic and if it is too cold, you can enter the glassed viewing platform. In the colder months check of the road is open in case of snowfall or during periods of very heavy rain.
