Activity level

This is a short, self-guided walk that links Salamanca to historic Battery Point. It’s marked by 9 large numbered sculptures, each sharing a bit of Hobart’s colonial or maritime history. 

The full trail is about 2 km and takes ~45 mins. It's very easy to follow and goes through spots like Kelly’s Steps, Arthur Circus, and the old slipyards!
