Where Are You?
Hobart's compact CBD means most toilets are within 10 minutes walk of the waterfront.
At Salamanca Market / Place
Salamanca Square + Waterfront
Multiple options. Wheelchair accessible and baby change at the waterfront end.
Saturday market draws huge crowds. Salamanca Square has a basic block; the waterfront facilities near the Salamanca end are better equipped.
At Constitution Dock

Wheelchair accessible block near the dock. Finish line of the Sydney to Hobart.
Open 7am-6pm. Near Mures restaurant, Fish Frenzy, and the floating fish punts. Busiest on New Year's when the yacht race finishes.

Hobart — Australia's Second-Oldest City
Founded in 1804 on Muwinina / palawa country, Hobart carries layers of history — from 35,000+ years of Aboriginal occupation through convict settlement, whaling, Antarctic exploration, and a 21st-century cultural reinvention led by one extraordinary museum.
The Oldest Everything
- Hope & Anchor Tavern (1807) — one of Australia's oldest pubs, still standing
- Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens (1818) — second oldest in Australia
- Cascade Brewery (1824) — Australia's oldest continually operating brewery
- Theatre Royal (1837) — Australia's oldest continually operating theatre
- Hobart Synagogue (1845) — oldest synagogue in Australia
Convict Heritage & MONA
The Cascades Female Factory (1828–1856) is a UNESCO World Heritage convict site — a purpose-built women's prison that reveals the harsh reality of colonial punishment.
In 2011, David Walsh opened MONA — a $75 million museum built three stories underground into sandstone cliffs. It transformed Tasmania's cultural identity and draws 350,000+ visitors annually. Dark Mofo (winter solstice festival) is now a global event.
