Port Arthur is a small town and former convict settlement on the Tasman Peninsula. Port Arthur is one of Australia's most significant heritage areas and officially Tasmania's top tourist attraction. Known for its harsh conditions, dark history and stark beauty, it is located approximately 60 km south east of the state capital, Hobart. Tourism started up almost as soon as the last convicts had left, supplying the new residents with a source of income, part of it is undoubtedly due to its unsavoury past, and the ghost stories that accompany it.

Cradle Mountain is a distinctive mountain in the Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park. Rising 1,545 metres above sea level it is one of the principal tourist sites in Tasmania, owing to its natural beauty. The mountain is composed of dolerite columns, similar to many of the other mountains in the area. The area around the mountain has a large number of day walks, as well as being one terminus of the Overland Track. The mountain is climbed very regularly by tourists, and can be climbed virtually year round. It is a strenuous 6.5 hour return climb from the Dove Lake car park.

Salamanca Place consists of rows of sandstone buildings, formerly warehouses for the port of Hobart Town that have since been converted into restaurants, galleries, craft shops and offices.

Each Saturday, Salamanca Place is the site for Salamanca Market which is popular with tourists and locals. Salamanca Place is also popular after dark with both locals and visitors enjoying bars and eateries located there and the nearby wharves.
