     "The fabled island of Tasmania, Australia's smallest state, was named after Dutch explorer Abel Tasman.  Its capital, Hobart,was founded as a penal colony for some 300 inmates.  Today, the charming city boasts the world's second-deepest natural harbor, a mild climate and a picturesque setting on the banks of the Derwent River.  Its remarkable preserved architecture, particularly that found in the Salamanca Place district, dates to Georgian and Victorian times, and traditional pubs transport visitors back to Old England."
