Barnes and his wife Jane have been enjoying a quick break in the city, exploring the waterfront and indulging in local delicacies at the Old Wharf Hotel.

The 68-year-old singer recently battled health issues following emergency hip surgery and a bacterial infection that required open heart surgery in December.

“When in Hobart you’ve got to have a Tassie lobster right?” Barnes shared on social media.

He also posted about “resting up” ahead of Wednesday night, adding that it’s always great to be “breathing the crisp fresh air in Hobart”.
