A wonderfully peaceful cruise aboard the Spirit of Hobart, travelling from historic New Norfolk all the way to Hobart along the beautiful River Derwent.

The scenery changes throughout the journey, from calm waters and stunning reflections to forested hills, rugged cliffs and picturesque riverside landscapes. As we approach Hobart, the views open up to the Tasman Bridge, kunanyi / Mount Wellington and the city skyline, with a few of Tasmania’s iconic black swans along the way.

One of those lovely experiences where you simply sit back, relax and enjoy the natural beauty of Tasmania.

Sharing a few photographs from this memorable river journey. We’ve also captured the entire cruise on our YouTube channel, Hobart in Motion, for anyone who would like to experience it with us.

Step inside one of Tasmania’s fascinating railway heritage sites — the Derwent Valley Railway Derwent Valley Railway Tasmania at New Norfolk. After our beautiful Spirit of Hobart cruise along the River Derwent from Hobart to New Norfolk, we visited this historic railway precinct and discovered an extraordinary collection of locomotives, carriages and railway memorabilia.

The Derwent Valley railway story stretches back to 1887, when the line reached New Norfolk and transformed transport through Tasmania’s Derwent Valley. Over the decades, the railway extended deeper into the valley, carrying passengers, agricultural produce, timber and industrial freight.

Today, dedicated volunteers are preserving this remarkable part of Tasmania’s transport history. We were fortunate to meet Paul, who generously showed us around the railway yard and workshops and shared wonderful stories about the locomotives, carriages and the history of the line.

A huge thank you to Paul and the Derwent Valley Railway volunteers for keeping this important piece of Tasmanian history alive.

If you are travelling to New Norfolk, particularly on the Spirit of Hobart cruise from Hobart, this is a fascinating place to add to your visit.

✨ That brilliant light over Hobart tonight is Venus!

If you looked towards the evening sky after sunset and wondered what that exceptionally bright “star” was — it’s actually Venus, our neighbouring planet.

Venus is currently beautifully placed in Hobart’s evening sky and is visible for several hours after sunset, setting at around 9:37–9:38 pm. Its brilliance comes from its highly reflective cloud-covered atmosphere and its relative closeness to Earth, which is why it can look almost like a tiny spotlight even to the naked eye.

Often called the “Evening Star,” Venus is a planet, of course — and tonight it is certainly doing a good impression of a very bright star! 🌟

📍 Hobart, Tasmania | 19 September 2026

Did anyone else notice it over Hobart this evening?
