Battery Point (Battery Point, is located on the edge of Hobart, Tasmania's capital, 1.5km from the city of Hobart.
Battery Point属于高地地形,这一带是Hobart历史最悠久的地区,也是Hobart有名的富人区。炮台岬之名始于1818年建造于此的炮台(Battery),炮台保护着Hobart镇免受海上的威胁,这种威胁主要出于战略上的考虑。 在捕鲸全盛时期,炮台岬是个繁华的地区,船员往来络绎不绝,现在的炮台岬一带则是僻静的高尚住宅区,仍可见到19世纪维多利亚式建筑和乔治亚式的宅邸。街上有不少由老房子改建成的古董店、艺廊和咖啡馆。 徘徊在如画的Arthur Circus,欣赏一下Cromwell St.街上的圣乔治公会教堂(St George's Anglican Church),或者缓慢地行走在Napoleon St.街到港口附近,系船的绳索在风中鸣唱,你还可以听到船儿们相互碰撞的声音。
