SALAMANCA MARKETS

Salamanca Market


Enjoy the sights, sounds, flavours, action and colour of Australia's best outdoor market - proudly operated by Hobart City Council -every Saturday from 8.30am to 3.00pm at Hobart's Salamanca Place.

Set between graceful plane trees and the mellow sandstone facades of historic warehouses, Hobart's famous market at Salamanca Place attracts thousands of locals and visitors, every Saturday of the year.

They come for the food and music, fresh fruit, crisp organic vegetables, hot baked spuds, the warm aroma of a coffee and croissant, busker's singing the blues, stroking a harp or strumming a lively folk song.

They come for breakfast, scrambled eggs and orange juice at a Salamanca bistro, then a stroll along the hundreds of stalls, meeting friendly people who make or grow what they sell.

Salamanca Market highlights fine Tasmanian art & craft including hand-worked glass, innovative design in Tasmanian timbers, stylish clothing, and bold ceramics.

GETTING THERE
Salamanca Market is a five-minute walk from the city centre. Parking is available in Montpelier Retreat and in city car parks.

Salamanca Market is close to historic St David's Park on the fringe of Hobart's central business district, where city shops are open all day Saturday. From the market, its a short climb up Kelly's Steps to reach the Georgian cottages and the village atmosphere of Battery Point.

Hobart's picturesque waterfront is also nearby across Salamanca lawns to the docks, where hard-working fishing boats are berthed close to cruising yachts and a square-rigger or two.

ANZAC DAY

25th April 2010


Anzac Day Dawn Service


A Dawn Service will be held at the Hobart Cenotaph

ANZAC was the name given to the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps soldiers who landed on the Gallipoli Peninsula in Turkey early on the morning of 25 April 1915 during the First World War (1914-1918).

As a result, one day in the year has involved the whole of Australia in solemn ceremonies of remembrance, gratitude and national pride for all our men and women who have fought and died in all wars. That day is ANZAC Day - 25 April.

A Dawn Service will be held at the Hobart Cenotaph to remember the ANZAC'S and other War Veterans who fought for Australia.

As the light here grows and another ANZAC Day comes upon us, we turn to those in the shadows. We thank you. We will never forget you.

Location: Hobart Cenotaph, Hobart
Times: 6.00am
