Architect: Alan C Walker (1906)

Based on the design of London’s Big Ben, Hobart’s GPO was one of the first public buildings to open in Tasmania after Federation. Explore the four-storey tower and rooftop of this landmark building and see the impressive inner workings of the city’s official clock.

Open House is an annual architecture program that opens some of Tasmania’s most unique buildings to the public, including private homes and historic buildings across lutruwita Tasmania. We acknowledge that Open House takes place on the land of the traditional owners of lutruwita (Tasmania) and pay respects to the palawa people, Tasmanian Aboriginal Community and to Elders - past, present and emerging.

Access: This tour is NOT suitable for children. Steep stair access only; please wear closed-toe sturdy shoes.
