Overview

So named because of its industrial past, The Gasworks Complex is situated in the center of Old Hobart Town in what was formerly the red light district of Wapping. Once part of a warren of mean, criss-crossing alleys with open drains running alongside the neglected and unsanitary cottages, the site has been transformed. The complex is easily identified by a 34-meter high chimney stack. There is a small Museum and Distillery Museum, a restaurant and quality liquor outlet on the site.
