Event description

To find out how this shaped Lindisfarne, come on our Lindisfarne Land Boom walk….

Back in the 1880s, “Marvellous Melbourne” was running headlong into the chaos of a land boom, the end of which would see some of the leading citizens bought down by bankruptcy as the boom fizzled out. But the land boom wasn’t limited to Melbourne; in Hobart there were plenty of respectable speculators looking to make a fortune through buying large chunks of farmland and developing them into urban paradise. In fact, that’s how Lindisfarne (then Beltana) came into being, dreamt up by a group of lawyers looking to cash in on the boom and in the process create their own homes away from home, separated by the Derwent from the noise and smell of industrial Hobart.
