Things to do in Hobart, Tasmania: The Best Shopping
Perched on Tasmania’s southeastern coast, the lively city of Hobart is a unique mash-up of the 19th and 21st centuries. The waterfront cafes, restaurants and studios of the largest city in Tasmania are housed in centuries-old converted warehouses that overlook a harbor bustling with yachts and fishing boats. An active arts scene, vibrant nightlife and leisurely daytime pace add to the city’s charm.

We loved our time in Hobart and on our last morning, right on Salamanca Place, we found some fab and unique art pieces in Aspect Design to take home as special gifts for our family. The Mark Knight crystalline glazed ceramics were so beautiful we bought 2 pieces and the wonderful Glenda ensured they were packed that well that they survived the flight home! I'm kicking myself for not buying myself a few Mark Knight pieces too! For lovely unique things that are not the usual "tourist tat", I'd pop in here for sure next time...even just to say hi to the lovely smiley Glenda again!

I was lucky enough to have Mel and Chris make my beautiful engagement ring and wedding band. It was such an honor to have local jewelers source local stones to make my set. My engagement ring stone is a amazing Killiecrankie diamond that was sourced from Flinders island and my wedding band is sterling silver. Communication and helpful tips regarding care etc is spot on form these guys. If I need anything else custom made down the track I will definitely be coming back to the Rare and beautiful.
