Tasmania's
Triple Award Winning Accredited Attraction
Old Hobart Town is a model
of Hobart in 1820. Built
from original plans, it is an accurate look at life in Tasmania's capital
city during this era.
This unique Historical Model Village is a result of three years full time work by John and Andrew Quick who are the owner operators. The model itself has been largely reconstructed from original plans of the era thus depicting Hobart as it was in the 1820's. The authenticity of this model makes it unique in Australia. There are other model villages but all are English, make believe or not done from original plans and maps. With a great eye for detail John and Andrew have not only built the sixty odd buildings but have also made some four hundred period figurines which all tell their stories of the cruel times of our forebears.
Coming to Old Hobart Town means experiencing Australia's only model of one of our early convict built towns, as well as learning the history of of one Australia's oldest capital cities. You'll learn about the changes that have taken place in Hobart and how our capital city has changed from when it was first built. You will gain a knowledge of Hobart's history that is rarely told in Tasmania and be able to visit Hobart's older buildings with a greater understanding, making your stay on our beautiful island even more fascinating!
