Its pristine wilderness regions are some of the most special places in the world. Majestic mountains and lakes fill the interior and the coastline is rugged and windswept. This is a land of timeless forests, beautiful farmlands, spectacular scenery and wildlife and modern cities rich in their own culture and enhanced with quality hotels, motels, apartments, cafes and great restaurants.
Hobart is the capital and it is situated on the banks of the Derwent River in the states south. Hobart started out as a convict penal settlement in the eighteenth century and there are many reminders of its convict past. Many stone buildings remain throughout the city and around the harbour to illustrate to visitors the hardships of the cities ancestry. Constitution dock in the centre of the city becomes the focal point when the annual Sydney to Hobart yacht race. In the north lies Tasmania’s second city. Launceston lies on the banks of the Tamar River and is the final destination of the Bass Strait ferry from the mainland.
