Tasmania

The charming Georgian architecture, busy port, leisurely citizens, and quiet communities make it the most relaxed and suitable place in Australia Where people live. I like to wander aimlessly in this small town. I first go for a walk on the beach in the early morning, and then stroll to a coffee shop called Jackman & McRoss on Hampden Rd to have a piece of croissant and a cup of fragrant latte. breakfast. All the way along Sandy Bay Rd, through St David's Park, I unknowingly came back here to buy a pork pie for lunch, and in the afternoon I bought a piece of almond pudding for afternoon tea. I always walked around here, even if it was just to admire it. Check out the window displays of delicious pies, baguettes and pastries. Salamanca is the largest center for handmade arts and crafts in the Hobart area. Handmade jewelry stores, bookstores, ironwork shops, galleries, leather goods stores, countless cafes, small restaurants and cold drink shops are located in these converted buildings. In an abandoned warehouse. A little sheep made of iron shavings from the kitchen, a wine cork that looks like candy, a little skirt made of old newspapers, a silver necklace engraved with the designer’s fingerprints... If you are a little woman, you will definitely come in. Can't move my feet. As many cute little things as your eyes can discover, you can see as much Tasmanian creativity and ingenuity. Walking through the back streets of Salamanca, we strolled to Elizabeth Quay. The evening sun was no longer so dazzling. The returning yachts were quietly docked on the shore, and the yachts watching the sunset had just set sail. Facing the sea breeze, sitting at table 51 of the Bluesky restaurant, you can have an unparalleled view of the sea. As the sky gradually darkened, our car drove into Sandy Bay, wanting to see Australia's smallest and earliest hotel and casino in Rest Point. It’s really a small casino, and it can’t be compared with the Crown Casino in Melbourne. The strange thing is that there is no tension and arrogance here. People who come here are more like hanging out in a game room. Obviously no one will. Lost all the family property due to gambling.

Edit this paragraph Port Arthur

Port Arthur is known as the "Prison Town". Between 1830 and 1877, as many as 12,500 convicts were imprisoned in Tasmania. Port Arthur was originally a timber logging site, but in 1833 it became a place of punishment for prisoners from all colonial Australia. When the exile ended in 1877, many buildings were demolished or burned. Port Arthur was once called "a machine that turns outlaws into honest men." The cogs of this machine were discipline and punishment, religious and moral demonstrations, classification and isolation, training and education. Many people were destroyed by such cruelty, but if you think this is simply a sad legend full of torture and pain, then you are wrong, this is only part of the story. All the buildings here were built entirely by convicts. Juvenile convicts from Cape Pu'er made the stone carvings and joinery of the church. During the busy season, many convicts, including juvenile convicts, went to the shipyard for training. Here the convicts not only built the shipyard And ships were built, whereas in the British Empire prisoners only built docks. These sleeping ruins are monuments to the vocational training those exiles received, and it is also the preparation that some people received before leaving here for the future, although many people no longer have the opportunity to leave here. Looking at the vast sea through the ruins of the prison, freedom and confinement, despair and struggle, destruction and rebirth are alternately staged. It seems that the soft prayers of the exiles in the armed guard chapel can still be clearly heard today. There is also an undisturbed resting place in Port Arthur, the Isle of the Dead, where approximately 1,100 people are buried. A criminal gravedigger lives on the island and grows flowers on the island, but he never eats the vegetables grown on the island. The lower, lower part of the island was used to bury criminals, lunatics, and the disabled, while the higher areas were reserved for freedmen and soldiers. Even in death, a strict social hierarchy was maintained.

Far away from homeland and family, what is the difference between exiles and exiles? What is the difference between highlands and lowlands after returning to nature after grasping the pure land? The setting sun turned the broken walls into gold, and it was so quiet that no wind could be heard. With a complicated mood, we said goodbye to this prison that looked more like a manor. We couldn't imagine that the tranquility of nature purified the hearts of the criminals. It was the atonement of the criminals that created a home that was no longer a home.

Edit this paragraph Tasmanian Devil

According to a report on the National Geographic magazine website on March 29, the Tasmanian devil is the largest carnivorous marsupial in the world. Mammals are also endemic to Tasmania, Australia. The Tasmanian devil is famous for its unique howl and bad temper. The earliest residents of Tasmania were frightened by the terrifying screams of Tasmanian devils heard in the distance at night, so they called them "Tasmanian devils". Tasmanian Devil". However, since the 1990s, the "Tasmanian Devil" has encountered a real "devil". Tasmanian devils

Some initial findings suggest that tens of thousands of devils are infected with a disease called "Devil Facial Tumor Disease" And death. Alistair Scott is the director of a Tasmanian devil research project for the Tasmanian Department of Agriculture. He said preliminary research showed the strange facial tumor disease was spreading rapidly in eastern Tasmania. He said: "Monitoring results show that this strange disease has spread across 65% of Tasmania. Before the emergence of this disease, the maximum number of Tasmanian devils was about 130,000 to 150,000. Now, about 75,000 Tasmanian devils have died from this disease, which has undoubtedly had a huge impact on the overall population of Tasmanian devils in Tasmania. "After contracting this strange disease, Tasmanian devils will die. The cancer first appears around the mouth, then slowly spreads to the neck and sometimes other parts of the body. Adult Tasmanian devils are more susceptible to the disease than juvenile Tasmanian devils. At the same time, because tumors interfere with the devil's feeding, sick devils usually become very weak. At this time, adult female devils can easily lose their cubs. After the festering wounds appear, the devils die within 6 months. In some areas of Tasmania, all Tasmanian devils will die from this terrible disease in just 18 months. Researchers say they have been able to grow the tumor cells in the laboratory and test them. Properly diagnosing the disease and ultimately developing a vaccine are the main goals of this research team. Researchers are currently working to learn more about the disease. The Tasmanian Government is also working hard to take some measures in the hope of stopping the further spread of the disease. A line of defense is being built to stop the rapid spread of the disease in northern Tasmania, which is now an area that has so far been spared from the horrific disease. At the same time, the Tasmanian government is also considering whether to list the Tasmanian devil as an endangered species under Australia's Endangered Species Act. This move will allow the Tasmanian devils to be protected from other dangers, such as the destruction of their habitat due to water pollution or land development. At the same time, this also requires the local government to draft a plan for the recovery of the Tasmanian devil population. This plan should focus on controlling the disease that has already occurred and preventing its spread to more animals. In response, Scott said that the disease "has had a very serious impact on the wild Tasmanian devil population, but scientists believe that during this period, Tasmanian devils will not disappear from Tasmania." Habitat extinction. Tasmanian devils

At present, the plight of Tasmanian devils on Tasmania has also alarmed relevant people in Australian wildlife reserves. It has also joined forces with some zoos to start discussions on relevant matters. If the survival situation of wild Tasmanian devils on Tasmania continues to deteriorate, then the captive Tasmanian devils will be sent to the Australian mainland.

Currently, there are approximately 150 captive Tasmanian devils living on mainland Australia and on the island of Tasmania.

Edit this paragraph Tasmanian tiger

On the Australian island of Tasmania, there once lived a cunning but very shy animal, Tasmania Tiger

This rare animal, found only in Tasmania, was once prosperous 100 years ago, but because it attacked sheep, it was hunted by European immigrants. In 1936, the Tasmanian tiger was declared extinct. However, since then, many evidences of Tasmanian tigers have been accidentally discovered every year. Although most of them cannot be confirmed, many people still believe that the Tasmanian tiger is extinct. Yahoo does still exist. In 1995, a forest ranger said he must have seen a Tasmanian tiger, and many zoologists have always believed that the Tasmanian tiger must exist somewhere in the forest.
