Concept and Design: Futago, in collaboration with Judith Abell and Chris Viney (2010).
No part of Hobart is more significant than Battery Point. The Battery Point Sculpture Trail is a collaborative project between Futago, Judith Abell and Chris Viney. It comprises oversized numbers to unlock Battery Point’s history and tells evocative tales of days gone by.
To discover more of Battery Point’s history, follow the sculpture trail that winds from Salamanca Place to Marieville Esplanade. As you explore, you’ll discover that this waterfront area has a layered history, steeped in stories. The full trail takes about an hour – look for the signs along the way.

![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.
