In addition to the places recommended to visit in a previous email I
would add
a trip to the top of Mount Wellington (behind Hobart), Salamanca Market
(Saturday early until 3 pm) on Hobart's waterfront - also a monument
to the Dutch discovery of Tasmania there - and walk around Battery
Point (suburb adjacent to the market). As you will be visiting at a
very busy time for tourism I would strongly recommend booking ahead
once you have decided on your itinerary. December 20 - January 3 will
be particularly busy around Hobart because of Christmas (school
holidays, summer holidays, family reunions and the Sydney-Hobart yacht
race - starts 26 December - and Taste of Tasmania food festival on the
waterfront, 27 December - 3 January).
