This historic landmark boasts the titles of being the first shot tower in Australia and the tallest shot tower in the southern hemisphere. Built in 1870, the Shot Tower is 48 m tall and made from sandstone, just like many of Hobart's historic buildings. You can climb the 259 wooden steps to the top of the tower which pays off with exceptional views the Derwent Estuary and countryside.
