The Australian Wooden Boat Festival has blossomed into one of the top maritime events in the world.  The Festival celebrates the strong maritime links Australia has with the sea, its early history and its current expertise in boat building.  Staged on Hobart’s historic Sullivan’s Cove waterfront docks, the scene is alive with maritime activity including an enormous collection of wooden boats of all descriptions, a big display of model boats, many permanent and temporary food outlets with an emphasis on fresh Tasmanian seafood, nautical skill demonstrations, live music and theatre, boat handling demonstrations, trade exhibitions, community groups and much more.
