ARRIVE AT HOBART TOWN.

On June 24th we entered Storm Bay, and next day arrived at Hobart Town.
None of our Australian colonies--I had previously seen them all--reminded

of the Derwent looked very pretty, and almost English, particularly the
spire of a small church peeping out from among the trees.
