Holidays to New Town

Caught the travel bug and prescribed yourself a journey to New Town? Perfect choice. But before you scratch that itch, you should research a thing or two about where you're off to.

New Town is an awesome base from which to discover Hobart, the state capital of Tasmania. If you're curious about how to reach it from the central area, you'll need to travel north for 3 kilometres.

Want to find out how many people reside in Hobart? At last count, it was close to 220 000.

How about fun activities that are completely free? Sounds great, right? Well New Town has heaps of those:

• Your getaway simply wouldn't be complete without visiting the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery. Don't worry about bringing your wallet for this one — it has no entrance fee.

• Learn more about the culture and creativity of the region at the Lady Franklin Gallery. After all, there's no better way to get familiar with a new spot than by admiring its artistic offerings.

• Don't worry about reading outdated text books and old-timey encyclopedias. You can see history in real life at the University of Tasmania, Government House, Runnymede and the Penitentiary Chapel Historic Site.

• Stretch out your legs and get to know the atmosphere in Franklin Square. It's a great place to get some shopping done too.

• A cheap and easy day out is waiting for you at the State Library of Tasmania, the Hobart Town Hall, the Allport Library and Museum of Fine Arts and Salamanca Market.

• Searching for a spiritual awakening? You might just find what you're looking for at places like St. David's Cathedral, the Hobart Synagogue, St. George's Anglican Church and St. Joseph's Catholic Church.

• Spend your morning lazing on the sand at Long Beach. Be sure to bring along a ball and a bunch of snacks.
