Tasmania

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.

Van Diemen's land (now Tasmania) was first circumnavigated by sea explorers George Bass and Matthew Flinders.

Antony Van Diemen's Land, later shortened to Van Diemen's Land and changed in 1856 to honour Tasman, the first European discoverer.

Originally named Van Diemen's Land, Tasmania was initially settled as a penal colony. Convicts were sent the directly from England, while the worst convicts in Sydney were also transferred there, to locations like Port Arthur, Sarah Island or Maria Island. These colonies were working penal colonies, taking advantage of the need for logging, but the harshness of the conditions, and the fact that more murderers were sent there, led to them developing a reputation for cruelty.

During the course of early European settlement, other terrible things were done to the island. The entire race of full-blooded Tasmanian Aborigines was wiped out, as they were relocated to offshore stands where they were not given the care they were promised. This was to enable to white settlers to move in, without the threat of conflict with the Aborigines. There had already been one major conflict between Europeans and Aborigines, at the "battle of Risdon Cove", where the indigenous people were massacred.

Not content with removing all the indigenous people, the white settlers then turned to exterminating two unique species: the Thylacine, often known as the Tasmanian tiger, and the Tasmanian devil. Both animals were hunted down as livestock killers, but during the 1900s, protective measures were put in place, and the Tasmanian devil was brought back from the brink of extinction. protection came too late for the Thylacine, however, and the last known specimen died in 1936.

Summer in Australia is caused by the same actions that cause summer elsewhere across the Earth. It is caused by the tilt of the Earth's axis as it orbits the Sun. The way the Earth is angled towards the Sun at any given time of the year causes an increase or decrease in the number of daylight hours: summer is caused by an increase in daylight hours and a more vertical angle of sunlight.
