Hobart is the capital of Tasmania, an island state. Hobart lies in the foothills of Mt Wellington, humping reluctantly down to the slate-grey waters of the Derwent River. The town’s rich colonial heritage and natural charms are accented by a spirited, rootsy atmosphere: festivals, top-notch restaurants and hip urban bars abound. Laid-back to near-horizontal, Hobartians hang out in cafés joking about the daily rush-minute, dressed ready to plunge into the wilderness at any moment. On summer afternoons the sea breeze blows and yachts tack across the river; on winter mornings the pea-soup ‘Bridgewater Jerry’ fog lifts to reveal the snow-capped summit of the mountain. .
