Battery Point houses

Our cottage in Hobart was in a very old neighborhood called Battery Point, named after a gun battery that was installed on a bluff there in 1818. To put that date in perspective, Dunedin was founded in 1848. Lots of houses and buildings on Battery Point are lovely and very old. The first photo shows the main shopping street in the neighborhood, with Mount Wellington in the background, where Mike rode his bike. The second photo is an Anglican Church that dates from the mid 1800s. We attended church there on the Sunday November 8, and there were box pews like we've seen in very old churches in New England. The rest of the photos are gorgeous old houses.








The last three photos in this post are all of the same house.
