sullivan's cove, tasmania

Sullivan's Cove, on the Derwent River, Tasmania, was the initial landing site of what is now the city of Hobart. It was founded on 21 February 1804 by Lieutenant Govenor David Collins, who travelled to the shore via what was then a rocky island named Hunter Island - the connection to the shore was developed and is now known as Hunter Street. The island now has a building directly above it. Although the first European settlement in the state was further up the river at Risdon Cove by John Bowen a year earlier, that settlement was abandoned and relocated to join the Sullivan's Cove settlers. A list of military personell accompanying Collins him on his voyage are listed below:

Today, Sullivan's Cove obviously holds large historical and sentimental value for the city. The cove area itself is today known as Macquarie Wharf and serves as the main port for the city, but many of the original buildings along the esplanade are still standing. The University of Tasmania's School of the Arts building is based on Hunter Street. A recently constructed serviced apartment building, ZeroDavey, has drawn criticism for being visible over the height of the original Hunter Street buildings and having a negative impact on the skyline. During 2004 there has also been discussions about a proposal for a tourist tram from Sullivan's Cove to the CBD, and possibly to North Hobart.
