So Far and So Close: Hobart 🇦🇺

Hobart Tasmania is a captivating blend of history, nature, and modern culture, making it one of Australia’s most charming destinations. Nestled between the River Derwent and the towering Kunanyi / Mount Wellington, this Tasmanian gem offers stunning waterfront views, a thriving arts scene, and a rich colonial heritage. Hobart is a travel gem and has something for every traveler.

After my first trip to Australia, where I visited major cities like Perth, Melbourne, Sydney, and of course, the Great Barrier Reef, I knew I had to return. But this time, I wanted to explore somewhere new. I kept hearing about Tasmania—sure, we all know it because of Taz, the Tasmanian Devil, but what was the island really like?

What a surprise! I had traveled to the other side of the world, yet Hobart felt like a charming city next door. The experience was incredible—from its beautiful historic architecture to its breathtaking natural landscapes filled with unique wildlife.
