SOME
HISTORY ON TASMANIA
Population
approx 482,000
Separated
from the continent by the waters of Bass Strait, Tasmania and its many
companion islands form the smallest Australian State.
The capital, Hobart, was established in 1803.
Annual yacht races from Sydney and Melbourne bring ocean racers from
around the world to Hobart.
Tasmania has substantial farming, forestry, hydro-electric, mining and
fishery industries as well as unique wilderness areas and a significant
tourist industry. Its landscapes and colonial era buildings are major
tourist attractions.

The
Tasmanian Blue Gum, Eucalypts globulus,
was proclaimed as the floral emblem of Tasmania
on 27 November 1962.
Eucalyptus globulus was first collected on the south-east coast of Tasmania
in 1792-93 by Jacques-Julien Houton de Labillardiere (1755-1834) and
described by him in 1799. He was a distinguished French botanist who
accompanied Bruny D'Entrecasteaux on the expedition in La Recherche
and L'Esperance in 1791-94 in search of their missing compatriot, La
Perouse. The two ships of the expedition led by La Perouse landed at
Botany Bay on 26 January 1788. They departed six weeks later and forty
years elapsed before their fate was established by the discovery of
wreckage at Santa Cruz, north of the New Hebrides. Labillardiere was
a keen collector of plants and animals and also recorded detailed accounts
of the appearance and customs of the Australian Aboriginals he observed.
His plant specimens are now housed in the Museum of Florence.
