Geocache Description:

Scattered around Hobart are several sites with bronze sculptures by Stephen Walker.  The sculptures depict many aspects of Tasmania and Hobart, from our history, ties with Antarctic exploration, ties with other parts of the world, and our natural environment. The walk is gentle and takes less than an hour.  Parts of the tour may be busy during the working week and others may be busy on market days (Saturday).

This cache replaces A Walker Tour of Hobart. Many of the waypoints are the same, however as it was significantly re-worked and the final location changed I thought it should be a new cache.
