There are actually some beautiful houses from the early 20th century. Otherwise, you can't do much in the quiet area. For living certainly a nice place, from a tourist point of view not too exciting.

I only learned that by asking. And I'm surprised. I've just took a few photos of it in the nearest princess park. What artificial:)

Half scavenger hunt, half history lesson this trail is a great romp through a delightful historical neighborhood. The biggest delight is looking at the many periods homes and gardens while the various signposts explain the history of this section of Hobart.
