Anglesea Barracks is one of Australia’s most significant historical military precincts. It includes the Guard House, Military Hospital, the two-storey Soldiers’ Barracks, Drill Hall and Military Gaol, many of which were designed by colonial architect John Lee Archer.
With buildings made of convict brick and local sandstone dating back to 1814, The Barracks is the oldest military barracks still in use in Australia and includes the country’s only nineteenth-century military prison.
On this tour you will wind your way through the Barracks and explore the rich military history hidden within the sandstone and convict brick.
Tours: Saturday 9 + Sunday 10 November 2024, 10.00am, 11:30am, 1pm and 2:30pm

![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.
