Hunter Street in Hobart is a captivating cultural hub that weaves together a rich history and modern allure.
In 1820, a causeway was built connecting Hunter Island to Hobart’s shore. A cultural precinct was born. This precinct has emerged as a vibrant waterfront destination, drawing visitors from far and wide.
Hunter Island was the site of Hobart’s Old Wharf, so prior to the construction of the causeway in 1820, any sailors arriving at or departing the Old Wharf had to wade across the shallow sandbar separating Hunter Island from the banks of the River Derwent.
Not only has the Hunter Street causeway improved the arrival/departure experience for visiting sailors, but it has created an atmospheric waterfront precinct that has become the backdrop to some of Tasmania’s most intriguing stories. Today it’s home to cafes, bars, restaurants, art galleries, the University Art School, The Henry Jones Art Hotel and much more.
