Flower Delivery to Hobart,TAS
Nestled in the foothills of majestic Mt Wellington in Tasmania, Hobart is Australia’s second oldest city and its most southern. Originally home to the Mouheneener people, the Hobart region was settled by Europeans as a penal colony in 1803, first at Risdon Cove then soon at Sullivans Cove on the shores of the Derwent River, the second deepest natural port in the world. Many city streets in Hobart run down to the water’s edge at Sullivans Cove where some of the largest cruise ships in the world, such as the QEII, dock only metres from the popular cafes, historic pubs and art galleries that fill the old sandstone wool stores and warehouses along the waterfront. Australia’s Antarctic research vessel, the Aurora Australis anchors in Hobart between visits to the Southern Ocean; it’s bright orange bulk filling the view when seen from certain streets. And after dusk, if one is lucky, the real Aurora Australis may put on a show with purple, pink and green waves of magnetic light dancing across the sky. Hobart’s increasing popularity as a tourist destination has added a modern feel to the city. The world-class MONA at Morilla on the Berriedale peninsula and Tasmania’s Ten Days on the Island festival both bring thousands of visitors and locals alike to the city. These modern exhibitions and events blend well with centuries of architecture that line Hobart’s streets and dot its suburbs with history.
