Richmond & Salamanca Mkt (Saturdays) in Hobart. Basically the whole island is great.

It will depend a bit on what interests you...

If you like to see historic sites, make sure you visit Ross, Campbelltown (both between Launceston and Hobart), Richmond and Port Arthur (both within a couple of hours of Hobart). There are many other sites of interest across the island as well including the Maritime Museum in Devonport, Entally House (just off road from Devonport to Launceston), Shot Tower (south of Hobart).

If you like to see nice scenery, you shouldn't go past the Freycinet Peninsula (Coles Bay). Most people take the short stroll up to the saddle to look down to Wineglass Bay but the view is much better from the top of Mt Amos (if the weather is good).

If you like chocolate, you might like to visit the Cadbury factory in Hobart but they are often closed early in Jan and may be heavily booked later in Jan.

While you're in Hobart, take a drive up Mt Wellington for a great view (and a big chill). Many people rave about Salamanca Markets but there wasn't much (anything) there that interested us and it certainly wasn't a patch on Paddy's Markets in Sydney.

Check out my blogs on Tassie - pick the East and Midlands blogs. Depends on what you like. The coast around St Helens is lovely, and the free camps are along some the best parts of the coast.
