  3. THE OUTDOOR MUSEUM
    A roof of galvanised iron faded by the sun, walls of brick, sash windows and the symmetrical formalism of the Georgian style signify the age of this old house in Battery Point, Hobart.

    There are many houses like this in Tasmania. This one is in good condition, having been renovated at some time in the not-distant past and maintained in good order.

    That is the 1250m of kunanyi-Mt Wellington off in the distance with the 120m high cliffline of the Organ Pipes visible, a wall of vertical dolerite oozed out of the earth somewhere in deep time.

    Battery Point is an early Hobart locale on the banks of the Derwent.

Battery Point is a place where you walk, not drive.
