Perched on the edge of the wild Southern Ocean, Hobart is Australia’s second-oldest capital, its history shaped by ambition, hardship, and the restless sea. Founded in 1804 as a penal colony of the United Kingdom, Hobart began as a remote outpost intended to secure British claims and deter French expansion in the region.

Early settlement was harsh. Convicts laboured under strict discipline, carving roads, buildings, and farms from dense bushland. The presence of settlers led to devastating conflict with the Aboriginal Tasmanians, particularly the Mouheneener people, whose land was rapidly occupied.

By the 1820s and 1830s, Hobart grew into a bustling port, driven by whaling, sealing, and shipbuilding. Its deep harbour made it a gateway for trade and exploration, including voyages to Antarctica. Free settlers began to arrive, gradually shifting the colony’s identity away from its penal roots.

In 1856, Tasmania gained self-government, and Hobart evolved into a refined colonial city, with grand Georgian architecture and civic institutions. Over time, industry declined, but tourism, culture, and heritage flourished.

Today, Hobart blends its convict past with a vibrant modern spirit. Landmarks like Salamanca Place and the nearby wilderness stand as reminders of a city forged between history and horizon.
