Driving in Hobart

Hills and narrow roads

Hobart is hilly, and many Tasmanian roads are narrow and winding. Allow more time than the map suggests.

Wildlife at dusk

Wildlife is common on roads at dawn and dusk. Slow down outside towns.

Ferries

Check whether your rental can go on the Bruny Island ferry or the Spirit of Tasmania before you plan it.
