the docksI recently went on a trip to hobart, tasmania. it was so lovely to be on holidays. i was pleasantly suprised by how much i enjoyed the city itself. as i consider myself a bit of a city girl, visiting hobart i wasn't sure if i should be prepared for a backward little town or a capital city. what i instead found was the best part about hobart was the history and the buildings and knowing they were built by convicts.
this strip of arty cafe's and gallery which used to be a jam factory and its right near where the docks are.
the brown building on the far left as a little gallery with some amazing sculptures... my favourite was a giant wooden clothes peg, carved out of australian hardwood. brilliant.
there was another gallery behind and through the courtyard. it was awesome my dad and i got lost is the awesomeness. it had some very highbrow pieces in it. some early settler beauties... the prices were high but with good reason.
i nearly bought a renoir... yes thats right... for $450. it was just a simple sketch he did of a face. what an addition to my collection already though! but i couldn't spend my rent money on art. thats just silly.
