    Woolworths - Escalator to Store Entrance

    Woolworths is one of the two main grocery store chains in Australia alongside Coles. The name…read moreWoolworths is a familiar name as there was a department store chain of the same name in the US. The two chains are not related, though this grocery chain did use the name of the US chain as it had not been registered in Australia at time of founding. This is the same thing with the Target stores in Australia, though it is the reverse scenario as the US Target chain is the predecessor. I was visiting Hobart and was staying in the Hobart CBD. I wanted to grab a couple grocery items so I pulled up the Yelp app to find the closest grocery store. This Woolworths seemed to be the only one within the CBD that I could find so I decided to look for it. Had some trouble finding the store. Got lost as I walked through a parking structure before noticing the entrance. It is easiest to walk over to Argyle Street. When you see the car park, walk past it and enter the next building which is where this store is located. Upon entering the building, look for the Woolworths sign and take an escalator downstairs. Perhaps it was because I visited the store late in the evening, but I found the lighting here to be quite dark and dimly lit. Though I did find the store to be spacious. The prices here are comparable to Coles, which is my preferred store of the two since they seem to have better deals. Grabbed a large bottled water which costs the same at Coles along with a bag of packaged banana bread which was on sale as I didn't have time to eat out for breakfast the next day since I was going on a tour. I really liked the banana bread as it was very soft and each slice was packaged individually inside making it convenient to take as a snack when touring the island. In addition to the regular checkouts, they have self checkout machines here. And while grocery stores in Sydney still offer plastic bags to carry your groceries, it is banned in Tasmania as of a few years ago. Hence, you need to bring a grocery bag with you or buy a paper bag here for 15 cents each. If you need to grab some groceries in the Hobart CBD, this Woolworths is the most convenient option. You will probably find what you need here as the store is large. But remember to bring a bag unless you want to buy a paper bag or can hand carry your purchase.

    CWA Gift Shop

    I grew up in a country town, where the CWA ladies had a real presence. Whether they were running…read moreevents or fixing things or making things better or just smashing the cake section at the local show every year, everyone knew all about the CWA. In big cities they don't have a presence, really, because CWA stands for COUNTRY Women's Association. However, Hobart isn't really a big city. It pretends to be. And for locals, it sure is! But travel to any other state capital in Australia and you'll probably be a bit overwhelmed if Hobart's all you know as a Big City. However, there are so many joys that come with Hobart's weird in-between city state, and one of those is right here: the CWA Gift Shop. It's cash only ("because the bank takes money from you for every card transaction!" how rude) and full of incredible hand-made goods, from crocheted throws to jams to beanies to cakes to everything your grandmother's talents extend to. And they've been in this exact spot since 1951. My current favourite thing to do is, whenever I'm feeling slightly or dramatically under the weather, drop in here and get myself a treat. My mum and my grandmothers all live interstate but the CWA ladies step in as my surrogates for a bit of heartwarming TLC for the mind and tummy, and it's pretty wonderful. Oh, and also: pineapple tea cosies.

    Here's a hidden little gem. The Country Women's Association shop is great - with a mouth-watering…read moreselection of cakes, biscuits, slices, pickles, jams and relishes made fresh by ladies (and men perhaps - despite the title) in the surrounding country areas and brought in to be sold in this city shop. The ladies in charge informed me the vast majority of the baked goods on display were made fresh that morning. Each product - be it a sponge cake, tray of biscuits or jars of jams and relishes - is numbered, with the number corresponding to the lady who made them (it's all anonymous, only the ladies who run the shop know the secret identities of each cook). The shop takes a 25% cut of any takings with the baker/jam maker/knitter getting the rest. They also have loads of knitwear - from tea cosies to jumpers for kiddies - all of it first rate and all of it at great prices.
