Traveller Letters: This Australian capital seems to hate visitors
DEVIL OF A TIME Hobart doesn't like tourists. We flew into Hobart on Sunday, December 27 for eight days. The next day, we went to the tourist information centre. Closed. It stayed closed all week. Tourists were not welcome. We found out about Hobart attractions on the "hop on hop off" bus. Fortunately, our hotel guided us to a day tour to Port Arthur. Our second, "not welcome" was a café we went to for breakfast. An enquiry, "are you open Saturday?" was answered with a blistering snarl, "I have to have a day off sometime." We did not return there.
