Hobart, the harbor capital of Tasmania, rests at the foot of Mount Wellington and is the smallest and most historic state capital in the country. A perfect blend of historic and contemporary culture, this city continues to rise as a destination with endless entertainment options, gourmet cuisine and stunning Australian wildlife. When you're on locum tenens assignment in the country, take time to explore this rapidly evolving city that maintains its rough-around-the-edges pioneer vibe.
For an authentic historical tour, visitors should first meet Louisa Regan, the bonnet-wearing, 19th-century lady who takes you on a journey through the Cascade Gardens and the city's infamous women's prison, the Female Factory. Played by Judith Cornish, Regan was an Irish woman who was transported to the prison for seven years after stealing a loaf of bread in London in 1840. Combining history and theater, this tour provides you with an in-depth look at the history of Hobart as if you were actually living in it.
After a day of exploring, you can treat yourself to a luxurious dining experience at Lebrina restaurant, which can also act as a continuation of your historic guide to the city. Situated in an 1840s cottage that still possesses the same vintage interior, the establishment offers an intimate dining experience with delectable cuisine at its core.
