Shopping in Tasmania

  1. A

    Design Centre of Tasmania

    The Design Centre of Tasmania, on the edge of City Park, is a retail outlet displaying high-quality work by Tasmanian craftspeople – if you covet a giant Huon pine clothes peg, the prices here are as good as anywhere in the state. In the same building, the Wood Design Collection showcases local designs, with more sassafras, Huon pine and myrtle than your average southwest forest.
