Take in Hobart's city sights and the Anglesea Barracks, the oldest army base in Australia, on this informative half-day adventure. Begin with a motorcoach drive to the Anglesea Barracks. Here you'll find a museum is located in the military jail, which was built in 1847. Displays interpret the colonial period when the British army occupied the site as well as the various conflicts Tasmanian service men and women have been involved in from 1899 to the current operational deployments. Flanked on all sides by a fascinating collection of military memorabilia and uniforms, you'll have a guided tour and free time to discover Australia's military past and present. Then enjoy a local drive that takes in the city's top sights, such as The Cascade Brewery, Mt. Nelson Signal Station, the historic Battery Point, the sandstone buildings that line Salamanca, as well as Cenotaph military monument, Soldiers' Walk, the Queen's Domain, Government House and the lush Botanical Gardens. Return to port with a deeper understanding of the history of this fascinating capital city.
