Your journey begins here...
There is an ever-present sense of the Antarctic in Hobart and its surrounding countryside. You need look no further than the dolerite columns of Mount Wellington’s Organ Pipes, powerful evidence of our common Gondwana past, or the docks of Sullivans Cove, from where so many Antarcticans set off in search of fame and fortune.
Polar Pathways will take you to these and many more places, following in the footsteps of the pioneers of Antarctic exploration.
