Arrive at Hobart town.
On June 24th we entered Storm Bay, and next day arrived at Hobart Town. None of our Australian colonies—I had previously seen them all—reminded me of the mother country so much as Tasmania. The clearings on the shores of the Derwent looked very pretty, and almost English, particularly the spire of a small church peeping out from among the trees.
