 Mawson's Sheepskin and Opals by ATXtraveler
In the back room however there are a few other high end souvenirs such as the sheepskin, and the opals. Expert tourist pricing allows you to yet again use your bargaining skills to haggle for a better price, or just grin and bear it for full price knowing you are supporting the local community.
The shirts here were ok on pricing, and there were a few nick-knacks that would not set you back too badly. Leave a Comment

 ElizabethStreetMall by xuessium
So for folks in Hobart on the weekdays (where you'll miss the weekend Salamanca Market), this is the place to be.
Do note that like all Aussie cities, all shops closed at 5pm on most weekdays except for Thurs and Fri when it is late night shopping.
Everything under the sun I would presume.
Varies from stores to stores, depending on what you're buying. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherDirections: Elizabeth Street Mall

Me & my mate bumped into Ian at Salamanca Market where he had a stall and was doing a brisk business selling away his postcards & photos.
Photographer to photographer, it was always a joy speaking to a fellow enthuiast.
If you like to stock up on scenic shots, well, look out for Ian, if he is still peddling his fine talents at the market. If not, try to hunt him down at his Gallery in Richmond. (We tried but we could not find his Gallery)
Photos, postcards etc
They're not at all too expensive. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: Shop 2, 28 Bridge Street, Richmond 7025Directions: The address above is for Ian's Gallery in Richmond.Website: http://www.ianwallace.com.au/ Other Contact: email: ian@ianwallace.com.au

In the centre of the city we also found some interesting Indian Bazaar type shops.
There were Asian food shops, Health food and specialty stores.
Hobart seems to have all the shopping you could want and more, amazing for its relatively small size and population.
The shopping centre is quite modern too.
Near the intersection of Watchorn & Liverpool there?s even a little city supermarket. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

Liverpool Street I found to be VERY good.
There's one shop there called The Tasmania Shop, which had probably the best quality Tasmanian goods I saw anywhere.
It was expensive (but if you?re from Europe or USA it?s half price with the exchange rate!) but a huge range of items, many quite unique.
There are many hidden courts/arcades in the city which were much more interesting to me than the more obvious shops (perhaps the discovey of out of the way places?)
Outside the Cat & Fiddle Arcade (behind the Mall) is the Darrell Lea Chocolate shop - yummy good quality chocolate
The Myer Department store is also to be found here.
EATING : There?s a food court in the Cat & Fiddle Arcade
In the Centrepoint arcade, I made a real find of a shop : a Lord of The Rings style Faerie shop called « Grios ». They had some interesting things I?d never seen anywhere else, like special candles, pewter goblets in the form of creature faces, even pewter mounted butterfly ornaments which were made from real butterflies wings, then laquered. I could hardly believe they were real, but you can actually see the fine butterfly veines in the wings. Exquisite but very expensive !
Best of all, were Lord of the Rings gold or silver rune engraved ?Golum? rings.
The "Golum" rings were around A $200, not sure what carat gold, but if you're into that stuff it's probably not a lot to pay. Leave a Comment Theme: GiftsAddress: Centrepoint ArcadeDirections: Opposite entrance to Cat & Fiddle Arcade (behind Mall)

 Salamanca Arts Centre by Intrepidduck
Handmade or locally made post cards / greeting cards, locally crafted jewelery and homewares, drawing and paintings.
Due to the number of different artist run shopfronts exhibiting their works here prices are usually reasonable and competitive for what most of the products are. Leave a Comment Theme: Local CraftAddress: 77 Salamanca Place. Battery Pt.Directions: The old warehouse district.
