| | Discover Hobart Tasmania |
 | | Tasmania’s capital lies in the south-east of the state, near the mouth of the Derwent River at the foot of Mount Wellington. |
 | | Hobart is warm sandstone, bright spinnakers on the water, fish punts at the docks, the slap of halyards on masts, coffee under the striped sun umbrellas of Salamanca, an occasional frosting of snow on Mt Wellington, bush tracks and birdsong. |
 | | Parliament House looks out on its lawns, once the market garden for old Hobart Town, and historic Government House sits serenely in its park, where the Governor’s cows graze as they always have in their city-centre paddock. |
