Mures FISH CENTre
In 1985 the Government commissioned a well-known firm of mainland architects to submit an overall plan for Hobart’s Sullivan Cove. One of their suggestions was that a seafood restaurant be built between Constitution and Victoria Dock. George & Jill Mure believed this to be the best site in the state for the fish centre. They could not have been more right.
The Hobart waterfront is an unmissable spot to visit. Not just for it’s colourful locals - we’re looking at you Sammy the seal - or the beautiful heritage listed buildings of Hunter Street, or even the stunning backdrop of the city with kunanyi/Mt. Wellington beyond. It is also a mecha of activity and events.
From summer celebrations such as the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race, Taste of Tasmania, and the biannual Australian Wooden Boat Festival to the beating heart of Dark Mofo in winter there’s always something new to explore.
So whether you’re eating fish & chips on the dockside, celebrating the festivities, or just after a moment to sit in the sun and watch the local fishing fleet coming and going, the waterfront will always deliver a memorable experience.
