Meet the Hobart & Beyond Editorial Team

At Hobart and Beyond, we’re all about sharing the real stories, hidden gems, and local legends of Southern Tasmania — from the tip of kunanyi / Mount Wellington to the edge of the Earth at Cockle Creek. Our editorial team lives and breathes this incredible region, capturing its charm, cheekiness, and raw natural beauty through words and imagery that speak to locals and curious travellers alike.

We’re the voice behind the articles you read, the guides you bookmark, and the social posts that make you say, “Let’s book the trip!”

Darren Wright – Editor & Lead Content Creator

Darren Wright is the creative spark behind much of the Hobart and Beyond blog. A passionate storyteller and accomplished photographer, Darren has spent years exploring southern Tasmania — camera in hand and curiosity dialled up to eleven. His background in tourism, marketing and digital strategy means he knows what makes a destination shine (and what search engines love too).

Darren is also the founder of Darren Wright Photography, where he shares striking visuals from the Tasmanian wilderness, coastlines, and character-filled towns. Many of the images you see across our channels.

When he’s not on the road scouting stories or elbow-deep in website updates or social posts, Darren can be found fuelling up on good coffee in Cygnet, nerding out on generative AI and SEO trends, or tending native flowers at his small farm in the Huon Valley.

Follow Darren’s adventures via Instagram or Facebook.
