Join heritage guides from the Maritime Museum of Tasmania as they take you on a historic walking tour exploring the history of Constitution Dock. Hear about how the site has continuously changed and adapted over time: the pubs that have long since gone, a church that moved to Sandy Bay, the importance of the Museum’s boats the May Queen and Westward, the cranes and bridges, the sheds and dunnies and the first Commonwealth building in Tasmania.
Guided Tour Times: 10 am, 11 am, 2 pm and 3 pm.

![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.
