Battery Point

One of the area that we spent time wandering around was Battery Point. This is one of the oldest parts of Hobart and was initially the site of an artillery battery, hence the name. The architecture, the weather and the flora combined to give an very 'english-y' feel to the place - that is if you haven't spent much time in inner city England or your perception of England is based around Jane Austin novels!


 Battery Point Gardens
 Get off my lawn!
 The waterfront
 Arthurs Circus, a twee little roundabout of lovely old houses
 Pub signs, brick angled rooves and snow in the distance
 Hobart even has its old mill chimneys!
The kind of sweetshop you only read about in Roald Dahl...
