Tasmania

Aborigines settled Tasmania thousands of years ago. According to anthropological evidence, the Tasmaan Aborigines are among the oldest civilisations found on Earth.

Regarding European settlement: the British Government instructed Lieutenant-Governor David Collins to establish a settlement at Sullivan Bay in Port Phillip (now in Victoria) in 1803. The settlement failed due to poor soil and inadequate water supply. Hearing of better land and timber in Van Diemen's Land, Collins moved most of the settlement across Bass Strait, and established Hobart. The city began as a penal colony at Risdon Cove on the Derwent River in late 1803 to offset British concerns over the presence of French explorers. These fears were not unfounded: the first Europeans to land on the island were members of the expedition of the French explorer Marion du Fresne.

The settlement became "official" on 16 February 1804. Collins originally named the settlement 'Sullivan Cove' after John Sullivan, Permanent Under-Secretary for the Colonies. The name Hobart Town was adopted by the settlement in June 1804, after Lord Hobart the Colonial Secretary. The colony of Van Diemen's Land was proclaimed a separate colony from New South Wales, with its own judicial establishment and Legislative Council, in December 1825. Hobart Town was proclaimed a city on 21 August 1842, and was renamed as Hobart in 1875.

No, it gets brought up from the ground. However, you do have to pay for your equipment, the chemicals you may need, and the electricity it uses. If your pump breaks or you get leaks in your tank or the lines, then you must have it repaired.

The Tasmanian city due north of Hobart, Tasmania, is Launceston. The closest mainland city due north of Hobart is Melbourne, the capital city of Victoria.

Port Arthur is man-made. Port Arthur refers to the remains of an old convict gaol and the settlement nearby.

Punishment should not be applied with a sense of revenge, and imprisonment should consist of tasks not time.

and What was Maconochie’s definition of a task in the context of punishment? It is A specific amount of labor that, once completed, releases the prisoner.

Tasmania is a state just below Victoria on the Australian map... There are towns in Tasmania though, I myself was actually born in Tasmania.

Tasmania is also the name of the island.

Van Diemen's Land's population is 40,000.

Hobart was begun as a result of a failed settlement at Port Phillip Bay. Lieutenant-Governor David Collins set out to establish a settlement on the southern coast of Australia. The expedition included convicts, marines, free settlers, civil officers and a missionary and his wife.

Late in 1803 Collins and his expedition landed on the Mornington Peninsula. The settlement was not a success, as there was insufficient fresh water and the local timber was unsuitable for many uses. Hearing of better land and timber in Van Diemen's Land, Collins moved most of the settlement across Bass Strait, and established Hobart on the Derwent River early in 1804.

Part of the rationale behind starting a settlement in Van Diemen's Land was that it was a bid to discourage the presence of French explorers and those who sought to colonise the island. A year later it was moved to its current location at Sullivan's Cove. The name Hobart Town was adopted by the settlement in June 1804, after Lord Hobart the Colonial Secretary.

The Derwent River, upon which the Tasmanian capital of Hobart is built, was discovered by French admiral Bruni d' Entrecasteaux in 1793, who named it Riviere du Nord. However, it was renamed the Derwent after the River Derwent in England by British Commodore John Hayes, who explored the river later that same year.

No. Tasmania s a state. It has never been a country. Originally considered part of New South Wales, it became one of the states of the Commonwealth of Australia at Federation on 1 January 1901.

As of 3 July 2009, Hobart's estimated resident population was 211,948 people.

The mainland state farthest south in Australia and north of Tasmania is Victoria.

They block much of the wind, sands, and water that could cause erosion on the mainland.
