There are lots of things about Hobart you probably do not know.
For example, were you aware that according to the latest census data, 7 per cent of people in the greater Hobart area identified as Scottish?
Or that about 1,600 people said their religion was Hindu, or that the average household has 1.7 cars, or that over 9,000 Hobartians say their mum was born overseas?
Curious Hobart is our ongoing series where you ask the questions.
Journalists from the ABC Hobart newsroom then work with you to find the answer.
Our Curious series also gives the asker of the question the option to participate in the newsgathering process, if they wish.
We have already done Curious stories on the following topics:
- How do Hobart's steepest streets compare to those on Tour de France?
- From fledgling port to tourism hub, what could be in store for Hobart's waterfront?
- Is there a network of tunnels under Hobart?
- Did Hobart once have a district called Wapping?
- What happened to the Beaumaris Zoo?
- Why doesn't Hobart make use of its old rail corridors?
- Were Hobart's coastal defence guns ever fired in anger?
- What is the "flannelette curtain"?
- What is the history of Hobart's 'UFO' roundabout?
- How polluted is the River Derwent?
- What happens to Hobart's waste?
- Does Hobart get the most sunlight hours of any state capital?
- What happened to Hobart's trams?
- Will Hobart's population reach 300,000 by 2028?
We want new questions about the city and surrounds — its people, its culture, its myths and legends, and its peculiarities.
We're also keen to answer questions from further afield, so long as you stay within the state!
