Historic Aussie brewery since 1824
Cascade Brewery, located in South Hobart, Tasmania, is the oldest operating brewery in Australia, kicking it since 1824. Founded by Hugh Macintosh and his nephews, with a little help from the infamous Peter Degraves, this place has been brewing up a storm for almost 200 years. They've got a range of beers, from lagers to stouts, and even dabble in non-alcoholic beverages like apple juice and blackcurrant syrup.

Battery Point
Sightseeing
Charming historic suburb in Hobart
Battery Point is a charming suburb in Hobart, Tasmania, known for its historic houses and prestigious vibe. It's named after an old battery of guns that used to sit on the point back in the day. Nowadays, it's a posh area with fancy homes and apartment blocks, right next to the waterfront Salamanca area. The locals have been making noise about noise restrictions to keep their peaceful lifestyle intact. Plus, it's got some cool history, like tunnels under Princes Park that were once part of the old battery. Overall, Battery Point is a pretty swanky spot with a lot of character.
