Tasmania's capital Hobart
Hobart is 212,000 inhabitants, the capital of Tasmania, hereby where around 40 percent of the total population of the island. Most older buildings recall the time when the first Europeans settled here.
Every Saturday the famous Salamanca Market is held where you can buy products and food from around Tasmania here.
The only international flight of Hobart connects with the rest of the world, flying to Antarctica. Due to the geographical proximity of the australiansche icebreaker is also stationed here, who this summer released a fixed sit-down Russian tour group.
The Tasman Bridge connects some of the suburbs to the center of Hobart. 1975 pushed a cargo ship against some pillars and the bridge collapsed partially. The repair lasted 2 years and was more expensive than the construction of the original bridge. For many commuters, this meant a daily detour of 50 km to go to work in the center.
The mountain is Mt Wellington Hobart, which is actually only 1270 m high. Riddled with hiking trails, it is the ideal destination. Although it's almost snowing when I began my descent, the weather changed as often happens to Tasmania, so I could enjoy the view of the capital.
MONA, the Museum of Australia teueste
The relatively new star of Tasmania is the MONA (Museum of Old & New Art), whose construction has cost 75 million dollars and very peculiar and special works of art houses, which very often shock the visitors and fascinated at the same time.
Unfortunately, it is forbidden to publish photos of the works, so here are some links:

My understanding of art ends here at the "poop-machine" (Fekalmaschine) are shown in human excrement. The smell in the room is accordingly getting used to ....
My favorite work is a Buddha statue which was made from the ashes of incense:
