Looking for small towns near Hobart to escape the city without needing a packed lunch? Try Richmond for convict‑era charm and a bridge that’s been photobombed since the 1820s. New Norfolk sits up the Derwent with antiques and sleepy‑river vibes, while Sorell is the handy gateway to beaches and the Tasman Peninsula. Down the Channel, hit Kettering (ferries and fish ’n’ chips), Snug and Margate, or push to Cygnet for art, apples and very earnest coffee. Over the hill you’ve got Huonville and Geeveston for forests and doughnuts; eastward, Dodges Ferry and Lauderdale do sand without the crowds. All are within roughly an hour of Hobart—about as long as finding a park in Salamanca on a Saturday.
