Hobart General Tips by sheryl_tan

Favorite Thing: Visit Salamanca Market and Salamanca Place.

Fondest Memory: Only on Saturdays (9am-3pm), the waterfront will come to life on Salamanca Place. Some three hundred stalls lined the street offering Tasmanian arts and crafts, fresh produce, books, flowers, clothes and skincare products, etc. Shop for your souvenirs here. Enjoy a cup of coffee at one of the cafes along the street and people watch.

Favorite Thing: Get the fresh produce there. They are really fresh and cheap.

Fondest Memory: In Singapore, the carrots that we usually get from the market are pretty big as compared to the ones on sale in the Salamanca market. So we bought a bunch of the cute little carrots and they were really crunchy and sweet! We also bought a big bag of fresh red apples which we could hardly finish.

Favorite Thing: Eat the OYSTERS from Barilla Bay Oysters.

Fondest Memory: They are surely the freshest oysters that I have eaten so far. And only at A$7.00 for a dozen, you don't really wanna miss it! (Not really in Hobart itself, the shop is located along the road at Cambridge. You should spot a road sign that will guide you there.)

Favorite Thing: Look out for buskers and street performances!

Fondest Memory: As we went along doing our shopping in the Salamanca Market, there were a band of musicans who set up their 'stage' on the streets. I had enjoyed the performance but couldn't really stay long. So make sure that if you are there, do allow yourself some extra time to do just that.
