The waterfront of Hobart, Tasmania is one of the most photographed attractions of the city. Exploring the area is quite straightforward. You will find colorful crayfish boats & cruisers at
Victoria Dock, built in 1804. You'll see a row of centuries-old building right beside the dock.
At the center is the famous
Mures Fish Centre were you can purchase fresh seafood or enjoy it right there. People always talk about the
Tasmanian Pacific Oysters which are best eaten raw.
Right beside Mures is
Constitution Dock. You can't miss the floating food shops that serve fresh seafood straight from the sea and into the deep fryer!
One of them,
Flippers, is a Hobart institution. Since I was just looking for a sampler, I chose
Bag of Treats ($10) which is a small box with one scallop, crabstick, garlic prawn & prawn cutlet, and two calamari rings & fish cocktails. Add tartar sauce ($2).
It's a pity I won't be on Hobart this Saturday. That's the only day the
Salamanca Market is open at Hobart's
Salamanca Place. It's Australia's best outdoor market. I also missed the fantastic
Museum of Old and New Art or
MONA which everyone's been raving about.
Hopefully I could catch some more Hobart views before I fly out. I've driven around the city and I love the architecture! Just a block from Constitution Dock is the
Hobart Council Centre, built in 1938 as the headquarters of the Hydro-Electric Commission. Designed by A&K Henderson of Melbourne, it is one of Australia's finest examples of commercial Art Deco architecture.
