Charming King George style architecture, a busy harbor, relaxed citizens, and peaceful neighborhoods make it one of the most laid-back, people-friendly places in Australia. My favorite thing to do in this small town is to wander around aimlessly, take a walk on the beach in the early morning, and then sneak into a cafe called Jackman&McRoss in HampdenRd, and have a croissant and a cup of aromatic latte for breakfast. A trip down SandyBayRd, through StDavid's Park, and before you know it you're back here again for a pork pie for lunch, and in the afternoon for a slice of almond pudding for afternoon tea, and always on the move, if only to admire the window displays of tasty pies, baguettes, and pastries. Salamanca is the largest arts and crafts center in the Hobart region, with handmade jewelry stores, bookstores, ironmongery stores, galleries, leather goods stores and countless cafes, restaurants and cold drinks stores housed in these converted abandoned warehouses. Little sheep made from kitchen iron shavings, wine corks that look like candy, little dresses made from old newspapers, silver necklaces engraved with designers' fingerprints ...... If you're a little woman who comes in, you won't be able to move your feet. As many cute little things as your eyes can spot, you can see as much of the creativity and ingenuity of Tasmanians. Walking through the back streets of Salamanca, you will find yourself at Elizabeth Quay, where the evening sun is no longer so blinding, and the returning yachts are quietly docked on the shore, while the sunset-watchers are just setting sail. Sitting at Table 51 in Bluesky's restaurant, we were greeted by the sea breeze and had an unrivaled view of the ocean. As darkness fell, we drove into SandyBay to see Australia's smallest and earliest hotel-casino at Point Reyes. It's a really small casino, not at all comparable to Melbourne's Crown Casino, and strangely enough, there's no smoke and mirrors or money-spinning bravado here - it's more like hanging out in a gaming room, where no one is apparently going to lose all their family's money gambling.
Editing Port Arthur
Port Arthur is known as "Prison Town". Between 1830 and 1877, as many as 12,500 convicts were held there in Tasmania
. Port Arthur was first used as a timber yard and in 1833 it became a penal colony for convicts from all over the Australian colonies. 1877 saw the end of the exile and many of the buildings were demolished or burnt down. Port Arthur was once known as "a machine for turning outlaws into honest men", a machine whose cogs were discipline and punishment, religious and moral example, classification and segregation, training and education. Many were destroyed by such cruelty, but if you think this is simply a sad tale of torture and pain, you are wrong, it is only part of the story. All the buildings here were constructed entirely by criminals, juvenile delinquents at Cape Pooh made the stonework and joinery of the churches, and during the busy season many criminals, including juvenile delinquents, went to the shipyards to be trained, and here the convicts not only constructed the yards but also built the ships, whereas in the Empire of Great Britain the convicts merely excavated the dockyards. These sleepy ruins are monuments to the vocational training acquired by the exiles, and the preparation for the future that some gained before they left the place, though many never had the opportunity of leaving it again. A glance through the ruins of the prison reveals a wide expanse of sea, where freedom and confinement, despair and struggle, destruction and rebirth alternate, and it seems that the soft prayers of the exiles in the chapel of the armed guard can still be clearly heard today. There is also an undisturbed resting place in Port Arthur, the Isle of the Dead, where some 1,100 people are buried. A gravedigger who was a criminal lives on the island and grows flowers there, but he never refuses to eat the vegetables that grow there. The lower part of the island's lower terrain is used to bury criminals, lunatics, and the disabled, and the higher parts are reserved for freedmen and soldiers, so that even in death, the strict social hierarchy is maintained. Far from their homelands and families, what difference was there between the exiled and the exiled; a shovelful of clean earth and a return to nature, what difference was there between the high ground and the low ground? The setting sun gilded the broken walls into a golden color, the surrounding silence can not hear the wind, with a complex mood we wave goodbye to this more like a manor of the prison, can not imagine is the tranquility of nature purifies the minds of criminals, or criminals to redeem, created this is not the home of the homeland of the home.
Edit this section of the Tasmanian pouch badger
According to the U.S. National Geographic magazine website reported on March 29, the pouch badger is the world's largest carnivorous marsupial mammals, but also Australia's Tasmania Island endemic biological species. The marsupial is known for its distinctive howl and violent temper, and the earliest inhabitants of Tasmania called them the "Devil of Tasmania" because they were frightened by the horrible screams of marsupials that came from afar at night. But since the 1990s, the "Tasmanian Devil" has met its true match in the form of the "Devil". Tasmanian pouched badgers
Some of the first findings showed that tens of thousands of pouched badgers had died from a disease called Devil Facial Tumor Disease. Alistair Scott is the head of a badger research program at the Tasmanian Department of Agriculture. He describes preliminary research that shows the strange facial tumor disease is spreading rapidly in eastern Tasmania. He said, "Surveillance results show that this strange disease has spread to 65% of Tasmania. Before the disease appeared, the maximum population of pouched badgers reached about 130,000 to 150,000 individuals. And now, around 75,000 pangolins have died as a result of the disease, which has undoubtedly had a huge impact on the overall population of pangolins in Tasmania." After getting this strange disease, pangolins will first develop tumors around their mouths, and then the tumors will slowly spread to their necks and sometimes to other parts of their bodies. Adult pouched badgers are more likely to develop the disease than juvenile pouched badgers. Also, because the tumor interferes with the pouched badger's ability to eat, sick pouched badgers usually become very weak, and female adult pouched badgers are vulnerable to losing their cubs at this time. The pouched badger will die within six months after the festering wounds appear. In some areas of Tasmania, all pouched badgers are killed by the dreaded disease in as little as 18 months. Researchers say they have been able to grow this tumor cell in the lab and can test it. Making a correct diagnosis of the disease and eventually developing a vaccine for it is the main aim of the team. Currently, the researchers are working to learn more about this disease. The Tasmanian government is also working hard to take steps to stop the disease from spreading further. In order to stop the rapid spread of the disease, a protective line is being built up in the northern part of Tasmania, which is now the part of the country that has not been affected by this dreadful disease so far. Meanwhile, the Tasmanian government is also considering whether to list the pangolin as an endangered species under Australia's Endangered Species Act. Such a move would allow the badger to be protected from other risk factors, such as the destruction of its habitat due to water pollution or land development. It will also require local authorities to draw up a plan for the recovery of the badger population, which should focus on controlling the disease that has already occurred and preventing it from spreading to more animals at the same time. In response, Scott said the disease "has had a very serious impact on wild badger populations, but scientists are confident that badgers will not be extirpated from their habitat in Tasmania in the immediate future. Tasmanian pouched badger
The current dilemma facing pouched badgers in Tasmania has also alarmed stakeholders on the Australian mainland. Australia's wildlife sanctuaries and some zoos have also joined forces and started discussions on the matter. If the survival of wild pangolins on Tasmania continues to deteriorate, then captive pangolins will be sent to the Australian mainland. Currently, there are about 150 captive pangolins living on mainland Australia and Tasmania***.
Edit Tasmanian Tiger
On the Australian island of Tasmania, there used to live a cunning but very shy animal, the Tasmanian Tiger
, which is the Tasmanian Tiger. In fact, the Tasmanian tiger is not exactly a "tiger", it has a wolf-like head and a dog-like body, is the largest carnivorous marsupial in modern times, also known as the Tasmanian pouched wolf. It had black stripes on its back like a tiger, and sharp claws that opened wide. This rare animal, found only in Tasmania, flourished 100 years ago, but was hunted to extinction by European settlers because of its ability to attack sheep. 1936 saw the Tasmanian tiger declared extinct, but every year since then there have been many accidental sightings of the Tasmanian tiger, and although the vast majority of these have been inconclusive, many people continue to believe that the tiger still exists. In 1995, a forest ranger said he had definitely seen a Tasmanian tiger, and many zoologists have always believed that the Tasmanian tiger must exist somewhere in the forest.
