A storm once swept a fleet of desperate sailors straight into the heart of Hobart. Beneath the sparkling waters of Constitution Dock and the stately sandstone walls of Argyle Street, secrets swirl just out of sight.

Set off on a self-guided audio tour through Hobart’s waterfront and cultural core. Discover thrilling tales and hidden stories even locals miss as you move from bustling harbors to hallowed museum halls.

What scandal erupted when an infamous statue mocked Tasmania’s governor for all to see? Why did a political showdown force priceless collections out of Parliament House overnight? And which humble fishing boat turned a quiet dock into front-page history?

Each step pulls back another curtain. Move with the windswept ghosts of maritime legends, lost rebels, eccentric artists, and bold visionaries. See Hobart anew—layered in mystery, alive with drama.
