The Domain
Walk from the city a few blocks towards the Tasman bridge and you'll suddenly be out of the city and amongst greenery and trees on the Domain... head towards the bridge from the city but once you see greenery head up the hill towards it Of note is the fact that you can always be sure to see plenty of parrots in the trees. They are relatively tame so it's a superb opportunity to see some brightly coloured parrots up close.
Mount Wellington
fantastic view from the top of Mount Wellington, take a bus to "Fern Tree" and then walk a steep zig-zag track to the top or enjoy a scenic drive to the summit. There are walks for all fitness levels. Be sure to bring warm clothes as even in summer the summit is around 4°C. Be wary of long, sharp icicles falling off the mobile phone tower. Take care when driving especially at night due to the abundant wildlife on the mountain.

Hobart has a good wine industry, with many well established wineries just outside of Hobart. Tasmania's cool growing climate lends very well to production of the lighter varieties, such as riesling, sauvignon blanc, and point noir. The primary wine growing region around Hobart is known as Coal River Valley and encompasses the towns of Cambridge and Richmond; but here are also other wineries in the Greater Hobart area. Due to the distances and lack of public transport to these areas the best way of visiting them is by car. There are also places that do organised tours, usually of a weekend. 2 places are Boutique Wine Tours (http://www.boutiquewineto...) and Classic Car Tours (http://www.classiccartour...)
Charles Reuben Estate
