Walking the old parts of Hobart

Today I caught the bus into Hobart and, after visiting the tourist info centre discovered two very interesting self guided tours. There is a sculpture trail along the waterfront which is very well signposted and although the sculptures themselves are not that interesting (at least to me) they manage to tell an interesting story by using a number that relates to each position - from 1919 in the Hollywood font on the beach where Errol Flynn learnt to swim or 1923 in topiary alongside houses that only exist because the council in 1923 decided to allow a subdivision rather than a public park to the water and another (forgotten but large) number designating the number of tonnes of ship that could be winched into a boat yard.
Then I walked through the old suburb if Battery Point looking at what were a mix of worker's cottages and shops and the homes of politicians and lawyers....and probably now are just all the homes of politicians, lawyers and other wealthy types.
In Hobart there does seem to be a huge contrast between the inner trendy suburbs that tourists love and those where most people live....I guess it's the same everywhere but somehow the narrow streets, concrete footpaths with few nature strips and fewer street trees in the suburbs makes for a starker contrast perhaps.
This photo is from St David's Park which was once one of the original cemeteries in Hobart which fell into disrepair. Gravestones have been rescued and placed in the walls where at least they can be viewed and a beautiful park created.
