Discover the oldest Army base in Australia -- the Anglesea Barracks -- and the Military Gaol (Jail) built in 1847. Interesting displays interpret the Colonial period when the British Army occupied the site. It also commemorates the various conflicts involving Tasmanian servicemen and -women from 1899 through current operational deployments. View the fascinating collection of military memorabilia and uniforms on a guided tour; then, enjoy free time to discover Australia's military past and present on your own.
A pleasant panoramic drive through Hobart introduces you to the city's historical areas, such as Mt Nelson Signal Station, Battery Point and Salamanca, as well as the Cenotaph, the Soldiers' Walk, the domain, Government House and the Botanical Gardens, all seen from the coach. You'll also have a chance to take photos from a lookout on Mt Nelson, offering impressive views over the city and sea.
