Doors in and around Battery Point

Battery Point is Hobart’s most historic suburb, just a short walk from Salamanca Place and Hobart’s waterfront, Battery Point retains all the character of a Cornish fishing village of the last century with restaurants, antique shops and several pubs.

Here are doors that we passed by on our walk.

The General Post Office

Set on the fringe of Hobart’s centre, Battery Point is the city’s oldest and prettiest suburb, revealing row upon row of sandstone cottages, most of which are wonderfully restored by their house-proud owners.

Brightly coloured door and Elephant door knocker that is unique in this area.

This door, featuring gum tree nuts and leaves, is absolutely stunning—a true celebration of natural beauty and modern design.

    These are wonderful doors, Teresa. I like seeing the different ways people treat otherwise identical doors. I like the little doors at the Post Office and all the colors and shapes. The elephant door knocker is my favorite photo, and that last door is nothing short of amazing.

    1. Teresa says:

      I love that too especially here that is very uncommon so it really stands out. Thanks for the comment Dan.
