Whatever the weather in the rest of Australia is doing... don't forget to rug up for Tasmania... it can get hot... however, that icy wind is unforgiving if you've forgotten your woollens A camera and anything else needed to record this amazing place is a mandatory essential! Overcoat or 'Drizabone' - a must!

We enjoyed most of our meals at the Vista Pacific Hotel during our stay there.
We also stayed at the Rydges of Hobart downtown.
Both restaurants were excellent in their quality and quantity.
The Vista Pacific Hotel offers a stunning view of the city below. The restaurant was designed to take full advantage of that view. If I could get it here in the US, I'd spare no expense to indulge in Trevella. It's a fish that is caught off the Tasmanian coast.
When you have the chance, go to Mount Wellington. You will have a great view over Hobart. It will take you about 20 minutes by car to go from the centre of Hobart to the lookout on Mount Wellington.
I was there at the end of September. At this time of the year you can find some snow on the Mountain. You also will be blown away as the wind is pretty heavy.
Macquarie is another and it runs parellel on the eastern side of Liverpool Street and is one of the main thoroughfares into the CBD.
It has a little more variety in what you're likely to see, from old to colourful to modern.
Richmond has a model village named "Old Hobart Town" that has been largely reconstructed from original plans that depicts Hobart as it was in the 1820's. Feel like a giant as you weave yourself through the maze of exhibits. Thought it was cheesy but it turned out quite fine.
Extracted from the website:
..."This unique Historical Model Village is a result of three years full time work by John and Andrew Quick who are the owner operators. The model itself has been largely reconstructed from original plans of the era thus depicting Hobart as it was in the 1820's. The authenticity of this model makes it unique in Australia. There are other model villages but all are English, make believe or not done from original plans and maps. With a great eye for detail John and Andrew have not only built the sixty odd buildings but have also made some four hundred period figurines which all tell their stories of the cruel times of our forebears"....
Entry fee is a few A$. Can't remember the exact amount but it should not be more than A$5 per pax (circa 2004).

A: "There is most likely to be snow on Mt Wellington in August - can't guarrantee it though. I have experienced snow there in late October!"
