Hobart - Queen's Domain

Government House is one of the finest buildings of the kind in Australia. Built of sandstone in Tudor style, with 70 rooms and numerous chimneys, it was completed in 1858. It is not open to the public.

One of Hobart's landmarks is the Tasman Bridge (1964), which spans the Derwent River in a bold arch, borne on numerous piers, linking Queen's Domain with the suburb of Montagu. Eleven years after its construction a cargo vessel rammed one of the piers, threatening the bridge with collapse and a replacement bridge was built a few kilometers north. The Tasman Bridge is now once again operating normally.
