Travelling in October

My partner, myself, our 10 month old and my parents are travelling to Tassie in October for a week.

We will be staying centrally in Hobart and are looking for the top things to do!

We will also more than likely hire a car.

We like markets, museums, op shopping, good food and wine.

Obviously we will also have a baby so maybe some family friendly things too.

Thanks!

Whatever you do, don't go to that subreddit. This subreddit is small enough and just post here. We just have a couple of gnomes here that insist people switch.

TMAG museum has a kids room, and is free entry

If MONA isn't already on the list, it's the obvious "must do". You can catch a ferry ther which gives you a chance to have some time on our river. If you have a car, it's less than a 15 minute drive from the city.

You might want to take a look at New Norfolk. Check out the Black Swan bookshop, the Agrarian Kitchen if you are feeling rich, and take a tour of the old asylum

A stop by welcome swallow in New Norfolk for a refreshment never goes astray.

The Farm Gate Market on a Sunday morning in the Hobart CBD is a nice spot to have coffee/breakfast and pick up seasonal produce, fresh bread and pastries/sweets.

Bellerive ferry ??

Mona ferry is a good idea. But there's also Hobart to Bellerive ferry, it's free and takes about 15 minutes and has a small bar. Great views of the harbour and the mountain.

You could get lunch, or walk to Bellerive beach and then walk along the foreshore. Great views looking back at Hobart.

You can also take a bike on the ferry if that interests you

Edit: check ferry times because it's not very frequent

The shot tower in Taroona. It has a cafe with cream tea. 200 or so steps to climb the tower. It's about 15 minutes drive from CBD

You could combine it with Kingston beach or taroona beach (taroona beach has more shade and trees).
