Australia: Hobart


Hobart is the capital and most populous city of the Australian island state of Tasmania. Founded in 1804 as a penal colony, Hobart is Australia's second oldest capital city after Sydney. The city is located in the state's south-east on the estuary of the Derwent River, making it the most southern of Australia's capital cities and its harbour forms the second-deepest natural port in the world.

In June 2013, the city had a greater area population of approximately 217,973. Its skyline is dominated by the 1,271-metre Mount Wellington, and much of the city's waterfront consists of reclaimed land.
