Welcome to Beaker Street Festival – where science meets art. Based around nipaluna / Hobart, this is the perfect place to connect with curious minds and immerse yourself in the wonders of the wild.
We like to think that Hobart is Australia’s “City of Science,” with more scientists per capita than any other city in the country, proximity to exceptional natural environments and iconic endemic species, and the gateway to Antarctica.
Discover Tasmania
If you’re visiting from out of town, you can stay for a weekend, or stay for three weeks – there’s so much to see and do while you’re here.
If you’re into wildlife, you can’t miss Maria Island and the east coast, a safe haven for adorable wombats, endangered birds, and threatened Tassie Devils. If wild places are more your thing, head to the Huon Valley for giant trees, the Tasman Peninsula for giant waves, and into the Highlands for giant lakes – and for seriously huge hydroelectricity generation assets. If you’re more interested in thinkers and tinkerers, you won’t be disappointed with the collection of creative types around the cities of Hobart, Launceston, Devonport and Burnie.
