One of Australia's best Saturday markets is located at the historical hub of Salamanca Place. If you are pushed for time in Tasmania and will be in Hobart this is well worth an early morning visit. By 1PM the market starts to pack up shop, but then the party atmosphere begins to take over.

At 1270m Mt Wellington, or refered to by locals as "the mountain", dominates Hobart's backdrop. Climbing to the top can be done either by foot from Fern Tree or by taking a number of pathways out of Cascades. It is recomended that people come prepared for some enduring hiking and also that the Mount Wellington Walk Map is a must for information. This can be bought at the Service Tasmania Office at 134 Macquarie Street, Hobart.
The views from the top are most rewarding when its clear, and not to windy. During winter months and depending on conditions certain sections of the Pinnacle Road can be closed off to motor traffic due to snow coverage. In good weather bicycling to the top can be a challege, by this means coasting much of the way down afterwards. Public buses out of Franklin Square in Hobart only go as far as Fern Tree.

Also important to get a good brew before tackling a big mountain, like Wellington! |
