Both of these areas rest on the younger Jurassic dolerite deposits, before stretching into the lower areas such as the beaches of Sandy Bay in the south, in the Derwent estuary.South of the Derwent estuary lies Storm Bay and the Tasman Peninsula.
Hobart is located on the estuary of the River Derwent in the state's south-east.I was chiefly struck with the comparative fewness of the large houses, either built or building.Hobart Town, from the census of 1835, contained 13,826 inhabitants, and the whole of Tasmania 36,505.Geologically Hobart is built predominantly on Jurassic dolerite around the foothills interspersed with smaller areas of Triassic siltstone and Permian mudstone.
Hobart extends along both sides of the River Derwent; on the western shore from the Derwent valley in the north through the flatter areas of Glenorchy which rests on older Triassic sediment and into the hilly areas of New Town, Lenah Valley.Violent conflict with the European settlers, and the effects of diseases brought by them, dramatically reduced the aboriginal population, which was rapidly replaced by free settlers and the convict population.
