Southern Tasmania

Travel Guide

The Blade looking out at Tasman Island at the end of Cape Pillar in Tasmania. Such a beautiful view of all of the dolerite rock columns. #lifeatexpedia
You would be hard pressed to find a more pleasing and historic interior than that from the  main ballroom of Hobart's 1866 Town Hall. 

It is amazing to think that as well as the Council Chambers (a function it still performs today), it also once held police cells, courthouse, and the foundation State Library of Tasmania.

Undergoing many renovations throughout its long life, the interior of the ballroom is set off by the last addition, splendid chandeliers.
A ferry out of Triabunna. A cycle from Darlington. A hop, skip and a jump across the rocks. Then you've placed yourself nicely in front of all the Painted Walls of Maria Island in Tasmania - just check its low tide first for the best viewpoints!
Remote and peaceful up in the trees
The painted cliffs on Maria Island are beautifully coloured and patterned sandstone. They are best viewed at low tide for access all the way around the rocks. #hiking  #nationalpark #weekendgetaway #nature

Richmond
Five Mile Beach along side Pittwater in Hobart, Tasmania is not your usual beach. More a shallow lagoon that is mostly calm and therefore a great place for reflective photography. The water is so clear, shooting straight down you can clearly see all the wonderful marine life scurrying along the sand. ... wear gumboots if visiting here, they'll stop the crabs from biting your toes.

Seven Mile Beach

You'll enjoy the beaches and restaurants in Seven Mile Beach. You might want to make time for a stop at Seven Mile Beach or Royal Hobart.
