Today was a low-key day. We started by making the walk over to Battery Point. Hobart is a harbor town and receives a lot of ships in it each year. In the early days when it was developing, Tasmania became the home for many prisoners from Europe, mainly Great Britain. The British had an ever-increasing presence in Hobart because of this, and so they expanded their military to Hobart. The Royal Navy placed battery units here to protect the harbor. I could not find these guns, but the spots where they were appeared to be intact. Mostly, it is a nice view on a Wednesday morning. Wednesday afternoon was spent on a bus from Hobart to Launceston, where our day at Cradle Mountain would begin...
