Local Area at RACV Hobart Hotel

The Museum of Old and New Art is a gallery like no other in Australia, with a selection of amazing works that can be outlandish but never ordinary. By contrast, its riverside location is serene, and a favourite way to visit is by boat along the Derwent from central Hobart. The Hobart Hotel has a special package for accommodation and MONA entry.
 

Salamanca Place hosts a string of beautifully preserved buildings that now accommodate galleries, cafes and eclectic retailers. Every Saturday it's transformed into a lively open-air market. Behind Salamanca Place is Battery Point, one of the oldest suburbs in the city where you can discover all sorts of splendour as you walk its historic streets.

Tasmania has become world famous for its wine which has been born from the iconic cool climate. Exploring Tasmania is experiencing a collection of bars, eatering and local grocers and tasting the elements first hand.

Richmond is one of the best-preserved Georgian-era villages in Australia. The convict-built 1825 bridge is one of the oldest in the country. The village is full of museums, craft and antique shops, historic churches, tea-rooms and cafes, and it sits in the middle of the noted Coal Valley wine region.

Bruny Island has two distinct sections, joined by a narrow isthmus called The Neck. The main attractions are on South Bruny, including the lighthouse, a pub said to be the most southerly in Australia, albino wallabies at Adventure Bay and the award-winning Bruny Island Cruises which delivers abundant wildlife watching along the rugged coast.

In a state full of lush greenery, Mt Field is one of the best. It's the place for bushwalking trails that range from 20 minutes to full-day, the impressive Russell Falls is just one of several lovely cascades plus, in winter, skiing is possible around Lake Dobson. The park's vegetation is rich in both ferns and fungi, then in autumn the iconic fagus trees turn from red to gold.
