Hobart
Hobart's home of cricket and football is across the Derwent River from the city in Bellerive. The AFL's North Melbourne Football Club plays four home games here a year, while international Test, one-day and T20 cricket matches also pull good crowds. Guided arena tours run if there's no game happening, also taking in the Tasmanian Cricket Museum.
Buses 624 and 625 from the city run close to the oval.
