Hobart

Sitting on the Derwent River estuary beneath the peak of kunanyi / Mount Wellington, Hobart is a photogenic waterfront city and Australia's second-oldest capital, founded in 1804 as a British penal colony. Its harbour — one of the deepest natural ports in the world — frames a city centre dense with convict-era architecture, a strong café and restaurant scene, and the Salamanca Market. The Museum of Old and New Art (MONA), the Southern Hemisphere's largest private museum, draws visitors from across the country.
