Today, it rates among Tasmania's top visitor attractions, but its original function was industrial, turning a hazardous mix of hot lead, arsenic and antimony into ammunition. The Shot Tower, 11 kilometres south of Hobart in Taroona, furnishes a rare window into manufacturing history and at the same time rewards visitors with remarkable views at the top of over 300 wooden steps. It is at 318 Channel Highway, just south of Taroona and is open daily from 9am.

A ten minute drive toward Taroona with views of the Derwent whatever the weather. Climb the circular shot tower, admire the views and enjoy a devonshire tea.

The Shot Tower is Taroona's most distinctive and important landmark, and one of Tasmania's most historical industrial buildings. It has National Trust classification A and is open to the public. The visitor enters at level 4 above the ground and must climb 318 wooden steps to reach the open gallery at the top which gives 360 degree views across Storm Bay, South Arm and surrounding countryside.
