Old Hobart buildings refurbished to house a number of galleries and shops. Many things to choose from at all price ranges. Very worthwhile stop when visiting Hobart. Close to the harbor.

Cascades Female Factory Historic Site

Australia's most significant site associated with female convicts sits in the shadow of Mount Wellington, a short distance from the Hobart CBD. Women were incarcerated here as punishment or while waiting to be assigned. With guards, nurses and babies, up to 1000 people lived here at any one time. Discover the stories of female convicts and their children on a guided tour that operate regularly throughout the day. You can purchase a basic self-guided site entry or choose to join a Heritage Tour or our dramatised performance tours 'The Proud and the Punished.'

We visited this place having been to Port Arthur and found the whole thing thought provoking and interesting, thanks to Shelley for her amazing knowledge and enthusiasm about this place which deserves to be preserved and it’s memories recorded.

Farm Gate Market

Every Sunday, come rain hail or shine, a busy street in the heart of Hobart transforms into a bustling farmers' market. It's all about Tasmanian produce and getting to know your farmer, and it always has been.

Just before you enter Hobart from the North this gives you a great perspective of Hobart on the Derwent from the Tasman Bridge to Constitution Dock with Mount Wellington looming in the background.

Constitution Dock

Reviewed By 801neilp - St Kilda, Australia

It doesn't matter what time of day, sunny or inclement weather - Constitution Dock is part of the fabric of the city and draws locals and tourists alike. Surrounded by some wonderful bars, restaurants and the legendary fish & chip floating serveries and fabulous history, it is a must visit to soak in the ambience of the waterfront and dock area. It may be 2019, but very easy to step back 100 years and see it all before your eyes.

Bernacchi Tribute Sculptures

Reviewed By on_the_go_98765

Maybe this is a composite sculpture collection; the penguins and sea lions have their own little niche (surrounded by real life harbor birds, etc.) and then the scene opens up into an expansive "Bob Hope Road Show" style memorial (ala San Diego near the Midway ship). Louis Bernacchi, physicist and astronomer, poses for a photograph, while rounding up his dogs, assembling his gear boxes, and embarking upon the Antarctic explorations ... or maybe he has just arrived in Antarctica? There is a flag-like standard in his hand. We, as unexpected (and unexpecting) participants, weave our way through this collection of boxes, photography grear, dogs, sea life, and bolders along the Franklin Wharf on our way back to our own vessel. Maybe we should whisper and beg his pardon for stomping along here, uninvited, disturbing his very personal moment. Lt. Commander of the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve, Barnacchi was an exceptional man. He volunteered in both WWI and WWII; while in WWI (serving in the anti-submarine division AND American Destroyer Squadron) he received the medals of the "Order of the British Empire" and the "US Navy Cross". These are awarded in recognition of meritorious military service worthy of recognition, chivalry, gallantry, and extraordinary heroism in combat. Louis Bernacchi, we thank you for your service, on so many fronts.
