This Shot Tower was completed in 1870 and is located 11 kilometers from Hobart. In the early days, it was used for the manufacture of lead shot.
It was hard to get a good picture of the tower. It is 48 meters high
Still a ways to go to get to the top. The staircase in the tower was the original scaffold and had 287 steps.
Molten lead was dropped from a great height where it cooled before hitting a tub of water at the bottom of the tower.
He was all smiles until he realized the the steps were wooden .
