Many Historic Buildings
“Probably around 40% of Australia’s pre-1840 urban buildings (as distinct from country buildings) are in Hobart, with around 50% in Greater Hobart and the small villages of southern Tasmania. Melbourne was only just getting started by then. In New South Wales, whilst Sydney has many important buildings remaining, the numbers have been enormously reduced by the forces of development and modernisation. Country NSW still has at least as many heritage buildings surviving as does country Tasmania,"

Hobart Urban Adventures' greatest assets are our guides, the very persons who will show you what Hobart really is about, how it was in the past and how it is now. Each of our guides has their own stories and anecdotes about Hobart and the rest of Tasmania. Their combined knowledge is like a huge trunk full of treasures, which you can take home with you on our Urban Adventure Tours.
