West Hobart, with its colonial houses and cottages, preserves the character of the past. Walk down Berea Street, between Liverpool and Collins and follow the Hobart Rivulet. In the early days, the area was a farming district, and Goulburn Street was said to be equal any of London's worst slums! Salvator Rosa Glen, named after a 17th century Italian artist, was a romantic spot. The first tram route was from Hobart Railway Station to the corner of Arthur and Hill Streets. Several burial grounds were located in West Hobart, including Jewish, Quaker, Wesleyan and Roman Catholic.
