The city of Hobart is unique offering all the amenities of
a thriving city only minutes from a wide variety of natural beauties. Situated
on the west bank of the Derwent River the city in many ways retains the flavour
of a small town with a leisurely pace and a population of 160 000. One of the
most beautiful capitals in the world, Hobart is set under the towering peak of
Mount Wellington and has a deep water port rivaling Sydney Harbour.
