Shot Tower (The)Channel Highway, Taroona, Hobart, AustraliaTel: +61 (0)3 6227 8885 On the banks of the Derwent River and rising 48 metres above the bank, this sandstone tower, built in 1870, provides spectacular views up and down the river. At the base there is a museum and tearooms. Be prepared for a rather steep climb up 259 steps. Fortunately, there are also 25 landings where you can take a break. Molten lead was dropped down the hollow centre of the tapered tower; it cooled as it fell into rough pellets (shots) for firearms. Admission: Adults AUD4.50; children AUD2 (under five free); concession AUD3.50.
