| 32 of the 2 million sheep in Tasmania |
Today we drove from our hotel in Cradle Mountain to a hotel in Hobart. Hobart is the capital of Tasmania and is located on the southeast coast. It's the second oldest city in all of Australia and is the largest in Tasmania. It was a 6 hour ride through windy roads up and down mountains. As we approached the East Coast, the lush vegetation turned into low brush and farmland with many sheep and cows. (Tasmania has 500,000 people and 2,000,000 sheep and 650,000 cattle.) Eventually, when we got to our new hotel, we walked around Hobart a little.

As we walked, we saw piers with many fishing ships and sailboats as well as different restaurants at every turn. Of the restaurants we saw, most had either fishing-related names or prison-related names because. British prisoners used to be banished here and their forced labor helped construct many buildings here.
