Established in 1981, this wildlife sanctuary cares for injured and orphaned wildlife, with all proceeds going to maintaining the park. The park is home to wildlife including kangaroos, wallabies, wombats, koalas, Tasmanian devils, and a more than 100-year-old cockatoo. Included in admission is a bag of kangaroo feed for the troop of kangaroos in a large enclosure at the back – the kangaroos will eat out of your hand and love getting chest scratches. Tours are held several times a day where they introduce you to the current residents of the sanctuary. They also help discuss ways to help local wildlife if you ever spot one in danger or notice roadkill. Private tours are also available for those willing to pay, which are exceptional and allow for you to get up close and personal with the wildlife.

MONA
This eccentric, world-class museum of contemporary art has created a buzz in Hobart. Visitor opinions diverge from spectacular, to confronting to "I just don't see what the fuss is about". The museum has a decidedly adult feel, so may not be the ideal place for kids. For those who don't get it, there are impressive views over the Derwent River along with a cafe and Morilla Winery on site. The building itself is quite interesting and is worth a look at. There are also some "traditional art" pieces, including some mummies. Ferries run at least five times a day from Brooke St Pier which offers a scenic journey along the Derwent River. Bookings for the ferry are required and cost $20 one-way or return. You can also drive to MONA, with limited parking, or go by bus.
