Hobart, Tasmania: The capital city of Tasmania, Hobart is on the estuary of the River Derwent in northwestern Storm Bay (upper left). Pitt Water is the smaller, sinuous body of shallow water (upper center) that is separated by a land spit from Frederick Henry Bay. Forestier and Tasman Peninsulas (lower right) constitute the eastern shore of Norfolk Bay. Characteristic Tasmanian marsupials, such as echidnas and Tasmanian devils, are protected in natural habitats on the rugged coast of the Tasman Peninsula and on islands in Storm Bay. |
