BOOKINGS OPEN AT 12 PM ON FRIDAY, 11 OCTOBER 2024
Take a one hour guided walking tour of Hobart after dark through the eyes of a lighting professional. Learn how the lighting we add to our city impacts the way we use it and the environment around us.
Hosted by members of Dark Sky Tasmania, this walk will provide a unique insight into urban lighting and the problem of light pollution. As you wind your way through the Hobart streets, you will experience various examples – both good and bad – of how artificial light at night influences the way people interact with their city after dark, and the impact this is having on our planet.
Tour: Friday 9 + Saturday 9 November 2024, 8:30pm & 8:45pm
This tour finishes on the corner of Liverpool and Criterion Streets, Hobart

![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.
