  MCD I took this tour two years ago and did stop in Tasmania before the tour started. I flew into Melbourne and had a connection to Hobart. I spent three days and did a couple of Gray line tours. The one out to the Port Arthur Convict prison, was very eye opening and because it takes a while to get there, you see different areas of the island.
  They have a relatively new art museum MONA which has a fabulous setting in a winery on a peninsula on Hobart.
  On Saturdays there is the fun Salamanca market located by the port.
  By my comments, I think you can tell I think this is a very worthwhile stop off.
  As a side note, there is a shuttle bus from the airport to the hotels in Hobart. As for hotels, there are a number of nice ones located at the port at reasonable prices.

  Thanks, Golly Gee. I recently read "The Tin Ticket" and it was the convict history that intrigued me about Tasmania. Your other suggestions are quite helpful, too.
