Lindisfarne to Montagu Bay. A pleasant family-friendly walk or bike ride following the shores of the Derwent River for 2.7 km.
Waverley Flora Park: Charles Darwin visited Hobart in 1836. There’s a 12-kilometre trail that traces his footsteps around Kangaroo Bay, Bellerive and Howrah, but there’s also a section of this trail in Waverley Flora Park beginning at the Winifred Curtis Entrance at Mercedes Place. It’s a great place to let the kids run around and explore the outdoors.
