Hobart: Aurthur Circus.
The sign says "Hobart's Parks. Arthur Circus. Part of an original grant to the Reverend Robert Kingswood [?], this site was purchased by Governor Sir George Arthur in 1829. When he resold the land almost 20 years later, the auction advertisment described "Delectable building sites in a neighbourhood that will inevitably become the Resort of the Beau Monde.""
