Hobart Rivulet Tour
Went on the Rivulet Tour last week with Sarah, Gail, Craig and a bunch of his friends. It was really interesting learning some of the history of how 'Old Hobart Town' was developed and the role the rivulet had in that. Originally a source of fresh water for the aboriginies and first settlers, to an open sewer, and now the prime storm water system for Hobart.
Made originally out of sandstone, and subsequently augmented with red brick, cement, and even now violated by the steel constructions of the international 'Golden Arches' (not to name any fast food joints in particular).
It is the home of some kinda funky graffiti too (much better than having it in the streets!
Took a little side detour up one tunnel and found these - original convict bricks with the convict insignia and everything!!
