Our home is peaceful and quiet yet is only a thirty-minute walk to Salamanca Market and the city of Hobart.
Salamanca and the nearby wharf area abound with artist's wares, fabulous wool, leather, and fine garments, great restaurants and coffee shops.
Day trips by boat or bus leave early from the wharf, covering such places as Port Arthur, Mount Wellington (kunyani) and city tours among others.
The Theatre Royal in Hobart hosts many wonderful amateur productions and nearby are the Museum and Art Gallery and also the Maritime Museum.
Tasmania, surrounded by water, is about boats, beaches and all things nautical. Do check out the May Queen, the oldest sailing ketch in the southern hemisphere still afloat in Waterman's Dock.
Muirs Restaurant provide both fine dining (for fish lovers, Blue-eye is a must, and they do it to perfection). Muirs also have al fresco dining at the lower level, where you can surreptitiously slip a little to hungry seagulls if you dare.
Very nearby is Bi-Centennial Park and Lambert Creek. The park is in its natural state, with uneven but made paths and a walk could be for ten minutes or many hours. The choice is yours!
