The South of Tasmania

The South of Tasmania
Anchored by capital Hobart, a beautiful city of good food and good people, the southern end of Australia welcomes travelers to its towns, forests, and coast. Ninety minutes east of Hobart lies historic Port Arthur, the most significant remaining testament to Tassie’s colonial history; 90 minutes west lies the beginning of the vast untrammeled expanse of the South-West World Heritage Area. In between, amid the hop vines of the Derwent Valley and the apple orchards of the D’Entrecasteaux Channel, flourish the homes of people who know a good life when they see it.
