65 : The Salamanca Walk Tour in Hobart
The Salamanca Walk in Hobart
This archived EATT Magazine podcast page explores the Salamanca Walk in Hobart, Tasmania, including local history, heritage stories, books connected to Salamanca, and the walking-tour experience.
The episode belongs to the period when EATT Magazine was recognised in the Cast Away Australian Podcast Awards, receiving the popular vote in the Lifestyle, Health and Wellness category.
The Salamanca Walk offered visitors a flexible way to explore Hobart’s waterfront history, including Salamanca, Sullivan’s Cove, Battery Point, and the stories connected to the area’s buildings, books, and heritage.
The tour also connects with books and local history about Salamanca, Sullivan’s Cove, Battery Point, and the wider story of Hobart’s waterfront.
