We just spent 4 days in Tasmania. Tasmania is a big island south of Australia. It used to be part of the rest of the continent but is now separated. It takes one hour by plane from Melbourne to Hobart (the biggest town in the south of the island) and 12 hours by ferry boat to the North of Tasmania. As the island is very big, we decided to fly there to the south and to stay in this area and to sleep in Hobart. Our hotel was old and very charming.
Nous venons de passer 4 jours en Tasmanie. La Tasmanie est une grande île au Sud de l'Australie. Elle faisait partie du continent Australien mais en est maintenant séparée. Il faut 1 h en avion de Melbourne à Hobart (la plus grande ville de l'île au Sud) ou 12h en ferry de Melbourne jusqu'au Nord de la Tasmanie. Comme l'île est très grande, nous avons décidé d'aller en avion au Sud et d'y rester les 4 jours en dormant à Hobart. Notre hôtel un peu ancien avait beaucoup de charme.
Hobart is the main city, the most populous with a population of 225 000, and has the only airport of the island (the whole Tasmania has a population of about 500 000 inhabitants). After checking in our hotel, we went to see the oldest synagogue in Australia and were greeted by one of it's members who opened it for us. It is still in use but with very few members attending. It is progressive and has 3 services : Conservative, Reform and Orthodoxe.
