A Fun-Filled Family Day at Salamanca Market, Hobart

Posted on July 14, 2025 | Leave a comment

If you’re visiting Hobart, Salamanca Market is one experience you simply can’t miss. Held every Saturday from 8:30 AM to 3:00 PM at Salamanca Place, this lively open-air market is a true celebration of local Tasmanian culture, creativity, and community.

With over 300 unique stalls, the market offers everything from handmade crafts, artisan jewellery, homewares, and clothing to farm-fresh produce, gourmet foods, and local delicacies. The energy is fantastic, filled with music, colour, and the smell of delicious food wafting through the air.

We visited the market with the family and had such a lovely time. There were rows of vibrant stalls, and the kids loved weaving through them, choosing their own snacks, and picking out souvenirs to take home. We bought some beautiful souvenirs, ate fresh fruits, tried a few different street foods, and even treated ourselves to locally made sweets and baked goods.

It’s a great spot for families because there’s something for everyone—treats for the kids, handcrafted gifts, and fresh ingredients to take back home. Plus, the friendly stallholders made the experience even better by sharing stories behind their products.

The market is set against the beautiful backdrop of historic sandstone buildings and is just a short walk from the waterfront, making it perfect for a relaxed Saturday morning stroll.

We all left with happy hearts, full bellies, and bags of goodies. Salamanca Market truly captures the charm of Hobart—warm, welcoming, and full of character.

Highly recommend adding it to your itinerary if you’re ever in Tasmania!

Sunny Adventure at The Neck – Bruny Island

Posted on July 13, 2025 | 1 comment

We had such a great time visiting The Neck on Bruny Island! We got lucky with the weather – blue skies, sunshine, and the perfect breeze made the walk even more enjoyable. The many stairs leading to the top might look a bit daunting at first, but the climb is absolutely worth it.

Once we reached the top, we were greeted with the most breathtaking 360° view of the narrow isthmus connecting North and South Bruny. You can see the beach stretch endlessly on both sides – it’s honestly one of the most iconic views in Tasmania.

There were lots of people enjoying the walk, taking photos, and soaking in the view. It’s also a great spot for wildlife lovers – if you visit at the right time, you might even spot fairy penguins coming in at dusk!

Whether you’re a nature lover, photography fan, or just looking for a beautiful spot to stretch your legs, The Neck is a must-visit on Bruny Island.

A Day in Nature – Mt Field National Park and Russell Falls

Posted on July 12, 2025 | 1 comment

We took a beautiful day trip from Hobart to explore the scenic wonders of Mt Field National Park, and it turned out to be one of our most memorable adventures in Tasmania. The drive from Hobart took just under 1.5 hours, and it was a lovely and peaceful journey through the countryside.

When we arrived, we purchased our park entry ticket at the visitor centre and got a handy map with walking tracks clearly marked. The staff were really friendly and helpful, especially in pointing out what would be best for families with kids. The main walk to Russell Falls is easy and well maintained – perfect for prams and little legs.

The walk itself was stunning, surrounded by tall tree ferns, moss-covered trees, and the sound of birds all around. We took our time, soaking in the serenity, and the kids were happily pointing out different trees and trying to spot wildlife. When we finally reached Russell Falls, we were all in awe. The waterfall is absolutely beautiful – water cascading down over layered rocks, with mist gently rising as it hit the base. It felt like we were in the middle of a nature documentary.

We loved the spot so much that we stayed there for a while, just enjoying the view and taking photos. From there, we decided to continue on to Horseshoe Falls. It was a short uphill walk from Russell Falls – a bit more effort, but manageable, and the reward was worth it. Horseshoe Falls has a quieter, more tucked-away feel, and the kids loved climbing the steps and rocks along the way. The track loops around, so we ended up walking through more of the forest and seeing even more of the natural beauty that the park has to offer.

There’s something really special about being out in nature like this – no screens, no rush, just the sound of the water, the trees, and the excited voices of our kids exploring. We finished the day with a snack at the picnic area near the visitor centre before heading back to Hobart.

It was a peaceful, refreshing, and family-friendly day out – we all agreed it was one of the highlights of our Tassie trip. Highly recommend Mt Field and Russell Falls for anyone looking to experience Tasmania’s natural beauty up close.

Sweet Stop at Bruny Island Honey 🍯

Posted on July 9, 2025 | Leave a comment

We visited Bruny Island Honey in Great Bay, and it was such a delightful experience! The shop is beautifully decorated in cheerful yellow tones, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

The shop may appear modest in size, but it’s impressively stocked with a wide variety of honey products. We were welcomed to sample different types of honey, including unique blends like Leatherwood and Manuka honeys. The tasting experience was both educational and enjoyable, allowing us to appreciate the distinct flavours of each variety.

In addition to honey, Bruny Island Honey also carries a range of natural products, including

  • Creamed Honey
  • Honeycomb
  • Honey with Ginger
  • Honey Mustard
  • Honey Ice Cream
  • Honey Mead
  • Honey & Eucalyptus Drops
  • Honey Bath Bombs
  • Beeswax Candles
  • Skincare Products (e.g., Manuka Body Lotion, Lemon Myrtle Hand Cream, Lip Balm)
  • Beekeeping Books
  • Bee-themed Merchandise (e.g., Tea Towels, Tote Bags, Cushions, Fluffy Toy Bees)

One of the highlights was the observation hive, where we could watch bees at work. The display detailing the life cycle of bees was particularly fascinating, especially for the kids, who were captivated by the real-time view of the bees’ activities.

We also indulged in their honey ice cream, which was absolutely delicious, and kids also had honey lollipop. We also tried their creamed honey and other honey-infused products, all of which were delightful.

For families, there’s a lovely outdoor play area where children can have fun while adults explore the shop. It’s a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the natural beauty of the surroundings.

If you’re on Bruny Island, I highly recommend stopping by Bruny Island Honey for a sweet and educational experience!

Bruny Island Ferry Ride – A Memorable Family Adventure

Posted on July 8, 2025 | Leave a comment

One of the most memorable parts of our Tasmania trip was the ferry ride to Bruny Island with SeaLink. The whole experience felt like the perfect start to a day of exploring. We booked our return car ticket online for around $46, which made things a bit easier—but we still had to wait in the queue for nearly an hour before boarding, as it does get quite busy. A little patience goes a long way here!

As soon as we drove onto the ferry and stepped out of the car, the kids were buzzing with excitement. It felt so different from our usual drives—open air, fresh breeze, and the excitement of heading to an island. The view from the ferry was absolutely stunning—calm blue waters, rolling hills in the distance, and seagulls soaring overhead.

We stood out on the deck, soaking in the peaceful scenery and cool sea air, chatting and taking in the moment. The kids were running from side to side, spotting boats, waving at other passengers, and just enjoying the whole vibe. It was such a wholesome moment for the family.

We were all excited knowing that once we arrived, a full day of island adventures awaited us—beautiful beaches, wildlife, and great food. The ferry ride really set the tone for a fun and relaxed day on Bruny Island.

If you’re visiting Tasmania with family, we highly recommend taking the time to do this ferry trip. It’s not just a way to get to the island—it’s part of the experience!
