Head to Kelly’s steps when in town to see the steps built by Captain James Kelly in 1840, connecting Salamanca Place and Battery Point. Built from local sandstone, this landmark connects the two suburbs and was created to provide an easier access for workers to the port and warehouses. In under a 10-minute drive you can reach Hobart’s Central Business District to explore the museums and many art galleries. To further explore the convict history of Australia, head to Hobart’s Convict Penitentiary with underground tunnels and gallows used in the 1830s for Van Diemen’s Land prisoners.
The adjoining suburb of Sandy Bay is a 10-minute drive from Battery Point with picturesque Long Beach and Nutgrove Beach to cool off. Mount Wellington is a half hour drive and well worth a day trip for stunning scenery and activities for all.
