The Hope and Anchor in Hobart occupies a stone building with thick, irregular walls that date back to eighteen hundred and seven. It holds a license that makes it the oldest tavern in Australia. When the first patrons stepped inside, the colony was still a primitive outpost where convicts and soldiers traded grain and spirits. The fireplace remains the original hearth, built from sandstone quarried nearby by workers who were serving time for crimes committed in England.
