On this Art & History walking tour you will explore the streets of Sullivan's Cove and Battery Point and take in both the area's street art scene and its past. As you move through these harbour-side neighbourhoods, you'll see public artworks created by local and international artists and learn how those pieces help shape Hobart's urban identity. The focus will be on unique public art that adds colour and character to the streets.

Along the way you will also hear about Hobart's colonial history. Your guide will introduce stories of convict men and women, early explorers, governors and whalers, placing the artworks in a wider historical context. The result is a layered view of the city, where contemporary creativity sits alongside the legacies of the past.
