Looking Again at Glenorchy
What do you notice when you slow down and really look at a place you think you know?
Join archaeologist and heritage officer David Parham on a guided walk through the heart of Glenorchy, beginning at O’Brien’s Bridge and following Main Road through the CBD before crossing the railway line and finishing at Glenorchy War Memorial Pool.
Along the way, look closer at the monumental and the modest, the familiar and the easily overlooked. Discover traces of Glenorchy’s past, places that continue to shape community life today, and the layers of history embedded in its streets, buildings and public spaces.
The walk invites you to see Glenorchy with fresh eyes, uncovering stories and details that can be easy to miss when we are simply passing through.
Come and have a look, slow down and discover another side of Glenorchy.
Tour: Sun 8 Nov, 11.30am – 12.45pm (bookings required)

![Open House Hobart and the Emerging Architects and Graduates Network (EmAGN) Tasmania @emagn_tas would like to thank everyone who kindly bid in this year's annual Sheltered [Ground] Silent Auction.
We watched the last-minute bidding war on some items (looking at your chair, @other_furniture_) with absolute glee; because, together, you helped raise over $8000 for the Hobart Women's Shelter @hobartwomensshelter. Legends. THANK YOU!!
If you missed out on an item, but you'd still like to support HWS, please head to the link in bio to make a donation. Your financial help plays a critical role in supporting service delivery and therapeutic programs, and fund strategic projects such as building long-term homes. Such programs provide opportunities for women and children to lead independent and fulfilling lives.
Finally, congratulations to those who outbid everyone else – enjoy your beautiful pieces, knowing there's a string of jealous individuals who missed out. Don't worry! We'll do it all again next year.
