What you gain in June
- ↑Dark Mofo — MONA's winter festival — runs across June and is one of Australia's most distinctive cultural events: fire installations across Hobart, late-night concerts in warehouses, the nude solstice swim in the Derwent River at dawn, and a program that deliberately inverts the feel-good festival formula in favour of something stranger and more memorable.
- ↑June hotel and rental prices are at annual lows outside the Dark Mofo weekend dates (which spike significantly). The city's small bar scene — Lucinda wine bar, Small-Fry, Born and Raised — is at its most intimate. MONA continues its regular programming with significantly smaller crowds than summer.
- ↑Cradle Mountain in June has genuine alpine character: snow above 1000m, ice on Dove Lake's shores, and the dolerite peaks of the Cradle massif under cloud and snow. The Cradle Mountain Lodge offers winter packages and the experience of the wilderness in winter is fundamentally different from — and for some visitors more compelling than — the summer version.
What you sacrifice
- ↓June is cold: 12°C days and 5°C nights. The 3.5 daily sunshine hours mean Hobart spends most of the month under low cloud. Dark Mofo requires embracing the darkness rather than looking for the Hobart of summer photographs.
- ↓Dark Mofo event accommodation must be booked months ahead — the festival draws visitors from mainland Australia who fill Hobart's hotel stock entirely on peak nights.
