Tasmania’s capital isn’t a big city but a very historic city as this is where many convicts landed. From there the convicts were sent all over the state to build the infrastructure and farms needed. From 1804 to 1853 convicts were forcibly sent to Tasmania to build the state. The youngest convict was as boy of 9 years , the youngest girl was 13. In 1822 convicts arrived in Hobart, Tasmania’s first town which was then called Risdon Bay. OK enough history.
Since we had all been to Hobart before we were only there for a short visit to the famous Salamanca Markets. OMG they were that busy we could hardly move.
We decided on a cheap camp ground at the Hobart Showgrounds at Glenorchy . Saturday we journeyed by bus to the market fought the crowds and found a bar to have drinks and dinner.

| You cannot go to Hobart without visiting Darci and Darci down near Constitution Dock . It’s a bakery for fine food and coffee.. I told you I was eating my way around Tasmania. |
