Peek inside one of Oatlands’ oldest homes at Maher’s Point Cottage! Built around 1833 by gaol “Javelin man” Dennis Maher, this pint-sized pioneer pad has been lovingly revived by Alan Townsend and Philip Cranwell since 2016. Rebuilt walls, fresh floors and clever comforts bring new life to old stone, and visitors are welcome to explore the results and the restoration tales hidden within.

![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.
