This new eatery run by Rodney Dunn and his professional team at Agrarian Kitchen has received rave reviews. Good idea to book. It is a 30-40 minute drive from Hobart. I like the way they have preserved some of the original fittings. It is at the higher end of budget dining.

Arts & Culture
Its hard to pick one area of interest for MONA. It is art gallery, restaurant, music venue. Catch the ferry from the docks and enjoy a drink before you enter the wonderful world that David Walsh has created.

This museum is the perfect place to wander and get a taste of the history of this state. We are so lucky in Hobart to have a collection of wonderful buildings and TMAG is no exception.
