The capital of Tasmania is more like a country town than a city, with its population of 180,000, and European style.
Once the dumping point for the worst of Britain’s criminals, Hobart has grown to become a most civilized and attractive town where conservatism is valued above development.
Mainly low-rise buildings of the town are set on the Derwent River and Port.
Hobart is the finishing point for the annual Sydney to Hobart blue water yacht racing classic which starts on Boxing Day.
