A short and uncut look at the Hobart and Battery Point Ghost Tour
Property for sale | Beaumaris House, 7 13 Newcastle Street, Battery Point, Tasmania
To find out more please visit our website:
Few properties within Hobart's exclusive Battery Point precinct can lay claim to the pedigree of Beaumaris House situated on 2 acres of land once held by William Sorell, Lieut. Governor of the Van Diemens Land colony between 1817-1825.
Built during the years 1879-1880 in the Victorian Gothic Revival style of the time, Beaumaris was commissioned by Henry Llewelyn Roberts and his wife Mary Grant Roberts, both of whom made significant contributions to the Tasmanian community.
Beaumaris is best remembered for the zoo Mrs Roberts founded in the grounds of her palatial home in 1895, which was open to the public and evolved to hold an internationally recognised collection of indigenous fauna until her death 26 years later in 1921. Among an impressively long list of her other achievements, Mary Roberts successfully bred Tasmanian devils in captivity for the first time and was elected a member of the Zoological Society in London in 1910.
Prior to the advent of Beaumaris Zoo, in 1867 accountant Henry Roberts with partners Kemp and Abbott founded what was to become a power house of Tasmanian agriculture. Initially trading as Kemp, Roberts & Co before rebranding as Roberts & Co during 1888 with Henry as Managing Director, the business went on to expand under the subsequent guidance of son Gerald Roberts, amalgamating with other firms during the 1950s to create a statewide enterprise which survives to this day.

Ghost Towns in Tasmania
This map shows former mining towns in the State of Tasmania (Australia). Tasmania's mining industry declined during the 20th century. As a result, most of the mining settlements have been abandoned or strikingly depopulated. The video was created using the software ArcGIS Pro 1.4.

The Tasmanian Magic Project
About The Tasmanian Magic Project
The Project has been established to find and record evidence of the material culture of magic in the State during the nineteenth century.
Magic left no contemporary documentary record but its role in the lives of Tasmanians is evident in the evil-averting (apotropaic) marks on their houses and other structures and in objects concealed in buildings.
Concealed objects including shoes and garments have been found in houses and other buildings in many locations throughout Tasmania.
Apotropaic marks have been found at Shene, Pontville, at Woodbury, Antill Ponds, at Redlands, Plenty, in the Courthouse at Richmond, at the former Rose and Crown Inn at Lewisham, at Dysart and Lonsdale at Kempton, and at Narynna, Battery Point, Hobart. Marks found to date include hexafoils, merels, a consecration cross, concentric circles and burn marks.
Numerous caches of concealed shoes and other objects have been found throughout Tasmania. The most notable discovery, that of 39 concealed shoes and a variety of other objects, occurred at Woodbury, north of Oatlands.
The use of magic appears to have been an aspect of cultural practices brought from England by settlers, convicts, the military, and members of the Colonial administration.
The fear of attacks by escaped convicts, bushrangers and Indigenous Australians may have played a part in the use of protective magic.
The Project’s survey of Tasmania is expected to produce results that will be applicable Australia-wide and of international significance. Several international scholars with expertise in this field have expressed their support for the Tasmanian Magic Project.
These include Professor Ronald Hutton of the University of Bristol and Professor Owen Davies of the University of Hertfordshire. The Project has the endorsement of the Government of Tasmania.
The Tasmanian Magic Project is the first of its kind in the world and will provide a template for similar surveys both in Australia and overseas.
The Project is open to participation and/or affiliation with University schools and departments. Places will be available for senior students in history, archaeology, architecture or anthropology. The Project is seeking funding to enable work to start as soon as possible.
The Project will be based near Oatlands in the Midlands and will carry out a survey of historic houses and associated outbuildings in areas between Hobart and Launceston.
Teams of researchers will visit houses by arrangement with their owners. Houses and outbuildings will be carefully examined and any identified magic marks will be photographed and recorded.
The Project needs funds to begin fieldwork in 2017. We are also looking for volunteer researchers with expertise in photography (and their own cameras) as well as people who can do measured drawings of buildings where marks have been identified.

Cascades Female Factory Hobart | Walking Tour | Steadicam
Hobart's Cascade Female Factory is an intimidating place. My Great Great Grandmother went through this system in the 1830's. It was quite an experience to walk where she walked.
#convicts
Cascade Female Factory:
The Cascades Female Factory is Australia’s most significant historic site associated with female convicts. It was a purpose built, self-contained institution intended to reform female convicts and is the place to discover the stories of Australia’s convict women.
Thousands of women and children were imprisoned here, and many never left, due to high rates of illness and infant mortality. Visiting the site today can be both emotional and rewarding, creating a connection with the stories of female convicts in Australia and their children – stories that are often tragic, but that also inspire hope and resilience.
It is located in South Hobart, a short distance from the Hobart waterfront and CBD

TWO DAYS IN HOBART AND EXPLORING AT OUR OWN DOORSTEP
My partner and I decided that after so many incredible overseas holidays, it was time to start exploring the destinations at our doorstep, so we decided to take a few days break and head to Hobart. We scoped out the best restaurants, things to do and of course the best place to stay, The Islington Hotel.
We flew down from Melbourne on Sunday afternoon, arriving to the gorgeous Islington Hotel to a foyer stocked with collectables, including an original Andy Warhol which I was in awe standing in front of. The rooms are filled with gold and tan leather, making them feel beyond luxe, and the bath tub was where I spent a few hours, covered in bubbles and taking some time out. There are several sitting and games rooms each decorated individually and to a theme, filled to the brim with beautiful artefacts collected from the owners travels.
We started the trip with a local cheese board and wine from the region, before having the best nights sleep we’d had in a long time, in a king sized bed.
Waking up with the view of Mount Wellington peeking out from behind the flower garden, which was in full Spring bloom, we arrived at breakfast soon after in the complete glass extension of the restaurant. The menu seems small but they create everything you could want, from breakfast pasta to chia pudding’s, everything produced within the hotel, or locally sourced makes up the seasonal menu.
Monday morning meant a day at the MONA museum, immersing ourselves in the worlds most controversial works, which has always been an absolute dream of mine. Following with lunch at the Cascade Brewery, one of several local breweries who of course serve the best beer battered fish. After a drive and walk around the top of Mount Wellington, it was time to head to dinner, where we discovered Ti Ama ( for the best Italian.
On day two, we headed to Bangor Vineyard and Oyster-shed for a long lunch overlooking the coastline of Hobart, to yet again try more local food and wine. The vineyards and distillery’s are gorgeous in Hobart, and definitely a must see, you could fill an entire day just eating and drinking, well I know I could.

I Know It All Comes Down to Love or Money... Or Sailing, Part II
We landed in Hobart the next afternoon, a complete coincidence, or perhaps just the divine matrix's language? Visiting Tassie was the only request my beloved Daddy had made for what we were all aware, could be the Proffitt’s last visit to Australia if Scott and I couldn’t meet in the middle. Ahem. That is, if Scott’s mother refused to relinquish subliminal control over my days, my choices and my womb. The irony to me has always been that had she just let go a little - I would have given her the best of what she desired & more... If only she had let it be my choice to make.
Because of our complete oblivion to the sailing event, there was not a single hotel room available by the time I sat down to organize one. Booked out for months, we managed two (very expensive) rooms facing Constitution Dock for our first night at Lenna of Hobart - an elderly and magnificent hotel between Battery Point and Salamanca Place. Due to the same situation with rental cars, I timed our travel by a bus route that would take us to the Midlands for our second night in the infamous Man O’ Ross Hotel, (a pub style hotel built in 1835 with shared bathroom amenities) followed by the third night in Lauderdale - & this ain’t Florida, folks.
It wasn’t an ideal vacation, but the excitement around the city was palpable! Electric for the maxis’ arrivals, we set our alarms for 5 AM, 30 minutes prior to Wild Oats XI’s expected crossing of the legendary finish line in the River Derwent. No alarm necessary though, as the commentators were already on the loudspeakers blaring into our hotel windows. In 30 minute increments I would wake, look into the marina, find no mast and go back to sleep again, until we rose to meet the giants in person. It was a makeshift trip based on mishaps, but overall, absolutely magical.
Back in Sydney, the morning of my parents’ flight home, I engineered my normal anti-jetlag routine of up at 4:30 AM & headed East to the beaches, but this time had a breakfast conversation that I will never forget. Looking into my parents’ eyes through my own tears, I effectively drew a line in the unseen sand of my destiny. The conclusion, strange as it may have looked from an outsider’s perspective, was that my life could not go on anymore in this fashion, because my soul was dying in it.
“He thought he could convince you with the money,” my dad said. I’m sure it hurt him to say it, knowing that it hurt me to hear it… Knowing that the newfound wealth was on everyone’s mind who was peering in. “I’ve only asked one thing of my children, Billie,” he continued, “& that is to be happy in this life. You are the only one who can answer that question, but this isn't what my favorite daughter looks like when she’s happy.”
Within a month, Scott’s laissez-faire attitude toward meeting my needs fell short again & I ended life as we knew it. Not because I wasn’t in love with him, but because, as Samantha told Smith Jarrod, “I love me more.” There wasn’t much of a “we” left anyway, I came to see as time passed… I have known nothing more painful in my life, than making the choice to walk away from someone I love, whatever the situation may be. And I had no idea what I was going to do next.
As I stood, I despised Australia. So far as I was concerned, had Scott stayed living the safe distance of 10 or so odd thousand miles away from Brisbane, then we would be living the cohesive life we had agreed upon before I ever stepped onto the Ancestors' soil. My life raft came in the form of my painfully astute gut instinct, which remained stubborn in the knowledge that I would truly adore this place, if I could just find myself in it. I was convinced that I was glitter in god’s hand, subject to god’s breath, so I decided to trust and go wherever that wind would take me.
My declaration became that I would attempt to morph into a crew member racing in the world-famous Sydney to Hobart. If I had a chance at it, then I would stay, & if I couldn’t manage making that a possibility, then it was just another square Australian peg that wasn’t fitting with my round, Californian hole of a life.
I told Scotty of my plan. That as repayment for lying to me, bringing me across the sea and then betraying his promises, he would fit the bill for me to do this. “You owe me,” I told him. And he didn’t flinch as he agreed. I don’t know if he felt guilty for the way he’d treated me, or if he just thought there wasn’t a chance in hell that I would actually be good enough to compete in “the sailing world’s Everest”. Either way, he stood behind this promise, & I will be immensely grateful in eternity for it.
Rocky Whelans Cave
Named after a bushranger who hid out here in the 1850's, this cave is easy to access and is located on the lower slopes of Mt Wellington.
