- Summary:
-
Peter Timms leads us on a journey through his adopted city of Hobart, Australia?s smallest, most southerly, least prosperous, but arguably most beautiful state capital. From Hobart?s convict legacy, its spectacular natural setting, heritage architecture and climate, to crime-rates, economic hardship and the recent disfigurements of the developers, Timms brings a wealth of fresh insights, exploring the city with a mixture of affection, admiration, frustration and sadness, interviewing a wide range of residents along the way. Those who have experienced Hobart as tourists will be surprised and intrigued by the lively, complex society this book reveals.
