From the top of the mountain, you can overlook the whole of Hobart. The scenic area has complete facilities and is worth a visit, especially since the scenic area is free of charge!”

陌染MM:“Traveling to Australia, this stop came to Hobart, the capital of Tasmania. Visited Cascade Brewery, which is the oldest brewery in Australia. It was built in 1824 and rebuilt in 1927. This is because a fire broke out in the south that year, and the fire affected the brewery. Later, it was rebuilt, so there are two years marked on the main entrance of the castle-style brewery. The current Cascade Brewery offers various flavors of beer, fruit drinks, and dark beer brewed with specially selected wheat. There is a tour of the brewery here, but it is not available on weekends. When I came that day, it was Sunday, so I could only taste the craft beer at my own expense. I am not a drinker, so I only bought a cup of the smallest cider to try, which costs about RMB 20. It is not big, and it is brewed with local apple juice from Tasmania. It is mellow and delicious. If it is hot, drinking a glass of iced beer can be said to be a great thing. The restaurant is quite large. On one side is a counter selling various craft beers. You can also order meals or desserts. I heard that there are desserts made with beer, but I didn't buy any food. On the other side is hot drinks. Pushing the side door of the restaurant out is an ancient garden. The garden coexists with the brewery, so it is also a garden with a long history. There are many plants planted in it. It can be said to be a mini botanical garden. There are many outdoor seats. Australians like to enjoy the sun outdoors, especially on weekends or after work in the afternoon. There will be many locals who come here to chat in groups of three or two. This is the slow life in Australia.”

Historic buildings
Open tomorrow at 10:00-14:30
陌染MM:“Traveling to Australia, this stop came to Hobart, the capital of Tasmania. The Port Arthur Historic Site is one of the most famous attractions in Hobart. The Prison Church Historic Site, which used to be an old prison building, shows the local prison environment more than half a century ago, as well as the judicial system in Tasmania. Visitors can see the former court here, or follow the dim stairs to the cell and visit the cell environment. I took a tour map, which marked many places. Now all we see is a ruin. Although a sign was erected in the court, cell and other places, everyone can use their imagination to imagine the original picture at that time.”

陌染MM:“Traveling to Australia, this stop came to Hobart, the capital of Tasmania. Wandering around the city center, I came to this museum, which is located opposite the City Hall, near the pier. There is a parking lot at the door, which is very convenient, but it is charged. The museum is free to visit. When you enter, there are some open-air seats with artistic shapes on the right, where you can take a break. The locker area is in the front left. All guests who come to visit need to put their belongings in the locker. You need to prepare a 2-dollar Australian dollar coin. Open any empty cabinet. There is a small slot in the cabinet door where you can put coins. You can only put coins that are exactly the size of 2 yuan. Then close the cabinet door and remove the key. When you need to move something, insert the key, turn the door open, and the coin will automatically spit out for you. This museum has several sections, including the history and culture museum of the aboriginals, the specimen museum, the exquisite collection museum, the art gallery, the cafe, the lounge and other parts. Due to time constraints, I only visited the specimen museum and learned about the animals that are unique to Australia and even Tasmania. Of course, these are specimens, for example: the now extinct Tasmanian tiger, the Tasmanian tiger, the Tasmanian devil, kangaroos of various sizes, flying birds, etc. The decoration of the specimen museum is very simple, or it is deliberately made to be a little primitive, it feels like returning to the primitive society. The lighting in the lounge is dim, but it has that kind of British style decoration. There are clear instructions along the way, and you can look at the signs to find your favorite museum to visit.”

空空CJ:“It is suitable for a family or a few friends to have a drink. The food has different portion sizes, and you can choose to share a variety of small portions. White sauce seafood risotto a27.5: I have been to other popular restaurants many times before, and decided to try it today. If I don’t like the taste, I can change places. The seafood risotto is very delicious. I regret that I only ordered the appetizer portion. I didn’t expect the mussels to be bigger and more delicious than Mures upper deck, and there are shrimps, squid and fish. Bolognese rich tomato, minced beef and red wine pasta beef red wine tomato pasta A23.5: The pasta is OK, but the beef has a sour taste, which is average.”

空空CJ:“Beautiful view This restaurant and location is amazing! The service was also amazing! The 5 of us ordered different appetizers, main courses, and desserts, all delicious. I had the shrimp for main course, which was delicious, but probably the least amazing thing on the menu, I think it should be more of an appetizer, after all, the shrimp were so small. All in all, we had a great time here and will definitely come back.”
