Vehicle batteries are not one-size-fits-all, and it’s important to understand the different types to ensure you stock and recommend the best product for your customers. This article will cover the most popular battery types and their applications.

Battery Point

Built on a point jutting out into the Derwent River, Battery Point is one of the city’s most historic suburbs. Its quaint 19th century sandstone cottages possess eccentric charm and nestle tightly into tiny streets and laneways. Located just south of the city centre, this fashionable suburb is also home to a range of boutique B&Bs and heritage apartments.

Many of the cottages in Battery Point are privately owned and have been restored for a sense of historical ambience. Many are now highly sought after luxury homes. Others are occupied by artists and craftspeople who use them for workshops or studios.

Tourists staying right in Battery Point can enjoy the close proximity of restaurants and cafes on Hampden Road and nearby Salamanca Place. It’s easy to clock up miles walking around this neighborhood, so comfortable shoes are a must! A walkway is planned to be built to provide access around the Battery Point foreshore. This will replace a series of steep hills and cobblestone steps with a level, direct route to the Hobart waterfront that bypasses the hilly local streets of Battery Point.

St George’s Anglican Church

St George’s Anglican Church is a beautiful old church in the heart of downtown Kingstown. Its features include a brass shaped eagle lectern and a circular mahogany pulpit. It also has a white marble font and an old nineteenth century organ by Bevington of London. Its large tower stands out above the city and houses the church’s chimes and clock. In the days of old, a choir member would climb the narrow wooden staircase inside the tower to ring the bells before services.

Originally, the church opened on what is now Notre Dame Street to serve as an overflow “chapel of ease” from Christ Church Cathedral. It closed in 1843 and was reopened seven years later as the current neo-gothic building.

During renovations between the 1920s and 1950s, changes in interior paint eliminated much of its decorative color. However, a 1906 photograph of the church allowed the restoration team to recreate its original appearance. This was a key part of the church’s overall restoration effort.

Arthur’s Circus

Arthur ran away from home to join a circus when he was 19 and has been performing with the merry band ever since. Now he must return to Fenwick’s department store and decide who will run his father’s business. Whether it’s Miss Saucy the LSD ladling chef, Madame Olaire the perfume selling smelly siren or Mr Vindictor measuring his way to the top, Arthur has to make a decision in time to save the store.

Arthur’s Circus is a heritage-listed site in Battery Point consisting of a circular road lined with historic cottages that were originally built as officers’ quarters. Its early settlement vernacular forms an important part of Battery Point’s historic precinct and is regarded as one of Tasmania’s most important heritage areas. Reworking it for contemporary living in a highly sensitive heritage context required restraint and patience, but resulted in the addition of a pavilion form to the rear of the property, connected to the existing cottages by an expressed glass connecting walkway.

Princes Park

The park is a popular spot for people to walk, relax and have fun. It offers a wide range of facilities including children’s playgrounds, a boating lake and a variety of trees. The park also has a carousel and new free electric barbecues. It also has a walking track and two undercover picnic areas.

Princes Park is home to many sports clubs, including Carlton Football Club. The ground was the last suburban ground used in AFL matches, and drew a record crowd of 62,986 for the 1945 Grand Final.

The Henge is a focal point of the Park, and is visited by groups such as drumming and yoga groups, as well as families and individuals. It is also a place where the community can gather for celebrations of events such as the summer solstice and Eid.
