Peter Timms leads us on a journey through his adopted city of Hobart, Australia’s smallest, most southerly, least prosperous, but arguably most beautiful state capital.

From Hobart’s convict legacy, its spectacular natural setting, heritage architecture and climate, to crime rates, economic hardship and new developments, not to mention the MONA game-changer, Timms explores the city with a mixture of affection, admiration, frustration and sadness.

Those who have experienced Hobart as tourists will be surprised and intrigued by the complex society and history this book reveals. Those who live there will discover their city anew, propelled by the author’s fondness.

In a new introduction, Timms reflects on what has been nothing short of a tourism-driven revolution since Hobart was first published in 2009. (back cover)
