Hobart is a unique city, with a unique history: rough-hewn in texture but gracious in many ways. Convicts, English gentlemen, army officers, roistering sailors and whalers, dedicated clergy, and down-to-earth common folk all did their part in establishing a settlement once known as "a nest of vipers".

They left their own monuments in buildings that still stand and give the city its special atmosphere.
