You can also spot the RSV Nuyina - Australia’s new Antarctic icebreaker at the Hobart waterfront (when it's not in Antarctica).
Students studying in Antarctic, marine and maritime fields are offered an exceptional range of opportunities including on-the-job training, pathway programs, scholarship opportunities, employment and other post-graduate options.
A vibrant arts and festival scene
There are boats in the Port of Hobart that’ll be sure to catch your eye. They are big high-powered catamarans painted in camouflage and it’ll take you along the River Derwent to the Museum of Old and New Art (MONA).
This internationally renowned museum has put Hobart on the world map as a premiere arts and cultural destination. The University of Tasmania School of Creative Arts boasts strong connections with MONA and students often display their works during the museum’s Dark Mofo festival which attracts visitors from around the country.
