Every part of Australia is,
always was and always will be,
Aboriginal land.

As a community gathering-place, a festival of arts, cultural exchange and celebration and as a site for the sharing of ideas and stories, Ten Days on the Island pays respect to the Palawa/Tasmanian Aborigines – The original owners and cultural custodians - of all the lands and waters across Lutruwita/Tasmania upon which our Festival takes place.

With thanks to the Tasmanian Aboriginal Centre for place names and other words in palawa kani, the language of Tasmanian Aborigines.

The tour is fully wheelchair accessible. The tour is 1.4km with 15 stops, an accessible toilet break halfway through, and a number of sit down locations. The walk is mostly downhill, with one inclined section from The Mall to Franklin Square.

The waterfront can be cool in the evenings. Please dress for our fabulous and ever-changeable Hobart weather.

Parking

There is paid on-street parking in and around Bathurst St, free after 6:00/6:30.
