The Royal Hobart Regatta is a series of aquatic competitions and displays held annually in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia and is Tasmania's oldest sporting event. The regatta began in 1838.

"Opening in 1837, Hobart’s Theatre Royal has been the home of contemporary theatre in Tasmania for more than 185 years and is Australia’s oldest working theatre. This 700-seat national treasure occupies an important place in the hearts of Tasmanians and many visitors to Hobart. Since 2020, the Theatre Royal has occupied The Hedberg, a world class performing arts precinct in the heart of Hobart, Tasmania. The facility is shared with the University of Tasmania and was the result of a collaborative partnership between the Australian and Tasmanian Governments, the University of Tasmania, and the Theatre Royal. It incorporates the original Theatre Royal building into a contemporary multi-use performing arts facility. These new spaces - including three levels of foyers and bars, and a new 285-seat Studio Theatre, have provided many new opportunities for audiences to engage with the performing arts." https://www.theatreroyal.com.au/about/about-theatre-royal

A beautiful monument to the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration, the Mawson’s Huts Replica Museum is, as its name implies, an exact reconstruction of the main research hut built in 1911 on Cape Dension by members of the Australasian Antarctic Expedition, lead by famed Australian geologist, explorer, and academic, Sir Douglas Mawson. The expedition – made up of Mawson, Lieutenant Belgrave Edward Ninnis, and Xavier Mertz – met with disaster on December 14, 1912, during a survey of the largely uncharted Victoria Land when Ninnis' sledge plunged through a crevasse, never to be recovered. With most of the expedition’s supplies, as well as its strongest sled dogs, lost, and over 300 miles away from base camp, Mawson and Mertz rationed their meager supplies and headed back, resorting to eating the remaining sled dogs as they went. Mertz ultimately succumbed to starvation, dysentery, and frostbite, forcing Mawson to carry on alone. On February 8, 1913, Mawson – near-death, skin literally peeling off of his body – stumbled into base camp. Only six hours before, the ship Aurora had departed Cape Denison after failing to locate Mawson and his team. A relief party of six men stayed behind and nursed Mawson back to health, and the weary explorer was forced to spend another winter on the cape.
