Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary
Built in 1981, Bonorong Wildlife Park is one of Australia's most popular wildlife parks. It was established for the adoption of abandoned and injured wild animals, and its purpose is also to call on more people to protect wild animals and the natural environment. Maybe you would rather visit such a zoo than the kind that captures animals alive and puts them in A zoo with cages for people to watch. There is a unique animal in Tasmania - the little devil, which is as precious as our national treasure, the giant panda. This cute little animal that looks like a little black pig and a bit like a mouse is the famous Tasmanian devil. Its scientific name is the Tasmanian devil (Sarcophilusharrisii). It is a marsupial carnivore that is only distributed in Australia today. In Tasmania, Tasmania, Tasmanian devils are relatively large carnivorous marsupials, and little devils are nocturnal animals with very few numbers, so they are generally difficult to meet in the wild.Brighton · 20.2 km from Kempton

Mount Wellington
Mount Wellington, at an elevation of approx. 1,271 m, is a high mountain towering behind the city of Hobart. On clear days, it is almost always visible when looking west from the city. Hobart is nestled between the mountains and the water. Standing on the mountain, you can overlook the entire city, the River Derwent, and the surrounding bays, with views extending to the hills and wilderness of southern Tasmania. The road up the mountain features multiple lookouts at various altitudes where you can stop and take in the views. At the summit, there is an enclosed, windproof observation shelter, which is the primary spot for panoramic views of Hobart. Beyond sightseeing, this is also a popular destination for outdoor activities around Hobart. On the eastern hillside, there are columnar rock formations known as the "Organ Pipes," rising over 100 m. Multiple hiking trails wind around them, ranging from easy forest paths to long-distance loops that require some physical stamina, and mountain biking enthusiasts also frequently come here to challenge themselves.Wellington Park · 39.6 km from Kempton

MONA
The Museum of Old and New Art, or MONA for short, is Hobart's burgeoning tourist attraction, showcasing the private collection of millionaire David Walsh. The appearance of the museum itself is very bold, going three floors underground, and the exterior is completely wrapped in stone. The interior displays range from Egyptian mummies to heavy-handed death experiences, which are extremely impactful. MONAFOMA in January and DarkMOFO in winter are the museum's own unique festivals.Berriedale · 31.4 km from Kempton

Port Arthur Historic Site
Port Arthur is Australia's largest and most intact convict settlement, forming a key part of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Australian Convict Sites. Discover iconic ruins, over 30 historic buildings, immersive house museums, compelling exhibitions, and guided tours complemented by a scenic harbour cruise and self-guided audio experience. Set within 146 hectares of spectacular landscape, heritage gardens, and walking trails, visitors can relax and enjoy breathtaking views, shop for locally-made products and savour local flavours in our cafés and at our acclaimed 1830 Restaurant & Bar. More than 300,000 people visit Port Arthur every year, but the now sunny port has a dark history. In 1930, Captain Governor George Arthur chose the Tasman Peninsula in south-east Tasmania to hold prisoners who had reoffended during the colonial period. The peninsula and the mainland are only connected by a land less than 100 meters wide (that is, the Eagle Neck Gorge). From 1830 to 1877, 12,500 prisoners spent hard sentences in Port Arthur. The Tourist Services Center is located in the Port Arthur Historic Site building. Downstairs is a gallery with detailed explanations, where visitors can learn about the suffering of prisoners in exile in Tasmania. You can also take a cruise around the Island of the Dead (Island of the Dead) in the harbour, and if you are interested, you can visit the island. This is a hugely popular excursion in Port Arthur, a 90-minute ghost tour with a guided tour of many of the old buildings and stories of some of the creepy events that have happened here. If interested, be sure to book before 16:00 on the day.Port Arthur · 86.2 km from Kempton
Salamanca Pl
Salamanca Pl is located on the waterfront of Hobart, the capital of Tasmania, backed by a gentle slope and facing the River Derwent. The row of three- to four-story sandstone warehouses along the street, built in the 1830s and 1840s, used stone mostly quarried from behind the square. They once served the port's whaling and shipping trade, but today they have mostly been converted into galleries, craft shops, cafes, and bars, making them one of the best-preserved colonial-era building complexes in Australia. The square is named after the 1812 Battle of Salamanca, a connection that adds a touch of history to the district. Every Saturday, it transforms into a lively open-air market: hundreds of stalls line the street, with handicrafts like glassware, woodwork, pottery, leather goods, and original clothing intertwined with flowers, produce, books, and street performances, resembling a city-wide fair that both locals and tourists love to visit. If you want to hunt for niche handicrafts or soak up the local atmosphere, consider setting aside a Saturday in your itinerary for this place. Arrive early in the morning for a more relaxed stroll and a better chance to chat with the stall owners. Visiting on weekdays is much quieter, perfect for browsing galleries at a leisurely pace or sitting in a cafe to watch the street scene. Looking north from the square, you can also see the silhouette of Mount Wellington in the distance. Climb the Kelly Steps on the west side, and within a few minutes, you can enter the old streets and alleys of Battery Point, connecting the colonial-era streetscapes of this area into a walking route.Hobart · 40.7 km from Kempton

It is a place where you can have close contact with kangaroos, Tasmanian Devils, wombat and other birds, etc. if you’re looking for a sanctuary to see the special wildlife of Tasmania, this is definitely a choice. The specialist will share with you the characteristics of wombats and Tasmania devils in those guided tours. Instead of visiting specific sanctuary, I think this Sanctuary is value for money if you have limited time. This is highly recommended for families and those interested in feeding kangaroos.

🏔️ Mount Wellington: Hobart’s Majestic LookoutMount Wellington, known locally as kunanyi, towers above Hobart and offers one of Tasmania’s most breathtaking viewpoints. Rising to 1,271 meters, it provides sweeping panoramic views of the city, the Derwent River, and the surrounding wilderness. The changing weather adds drama, with mist, snow, or sunshine often appearing within hours. Well-marked trails, rugged rock formations, and native wildlife make it ideal for hiking and nature exploration. Easily accessible by road or trail, Mount Wellington is a must-visit for anyone wanting to experience Tasmania’s raw beauty and ever-changing alpine atmosphere.

Traveling to Australia, this stop came to Hobart, the capital of Tasmania. Richmond Town is one of the oldest towns. Richmond Bridge is an arch bridge located in Richmond Town. It is the oldest bridge still in use in Australia. The bridge was built by convict laborers and completed in 1825. It was originally named Bigg Bridge, named after Royal Commissioner John Bigg. The raw material of Richmond Bridge is sandstone from the Butchers Hill Quarry, which was transported to the construction site by prisoners using carts. The bridge has four large arches and two small arches, all designed according to the characteristics of water flow.

The Contemporary Art Island is worth a day trip. It was founded by a famous Australian tycoon. It takes 30 minutes to reach the Art Island by taking a dedicated ferry from the main island of Hobart. In addition to appreciating art works, there are also tennis courts, cots, and a variety of rich dining and entertainment.
