23.01.2022 Hello All. We've very sadly come to the point where we have to close the beautiful old 150 year old doors to Taroona's own iconic Shot Tower for a while. I'll post on our page if I can find a way to re-open. I'd just like to thank all of the gorgeous people who have visited and supported our local family business, it's been lovely getting to know you in the 2 years we've had the business and we look forward to seeing you again soon. Stay safe and well everyone. Jules ... Shot Tower Tasmania Official See more

04.01.2022 THE SHOT TOWER, TAROONA HAPPY 150th ANNIVERSARY The building of Taroona's iconic Shot Tower was completed 150 years ago and the first shot dropped on 8 September 1870 by builder, engineer, carpenter and architect - Joseph Moir. The Shot Tower Residence, also built by Mr Moir, is now 160 years old.... During our Covid closure time, and with great thanks to Parks and Wildlife and the awesome work done by Paradigm Constructions' David Davenport and his team, The Shot Tower Historic Site has undergone some necessary repairs and maintenance work including the repointing of stonework, a new bridge to the factory building, painting and new roofs to the Residence and the Shot Tower Factory building which is home to The Tower Tearoom, History Museum and Giftshop. From 8 September until Sunday night 13 September, the Shot Tower gate will be open from 2.30pm until 8.30pm for our local communities to drive through the car park and around the Residence (and exit from The Shot Tower's top car park), if popping in before this time, please park in our top car park and feel free to roam the grounds during the day to view the newly renovated site - it's looking great. In time the silver tin roofs will age beautifully. The Tower lights will also be on for anyone who may not have seen it's magnificent beauty under the nights' sky! Now for us to start on the interior of The Tower Tearoom, History Museum and Giftshop and we then hope to open for the September school holidays on the 26th. Thank you for your support and we can't wait to welcome everyone back for The Shot Tower Historic Site re-opening. From The Shot Tower family, Jules, Paul and Jorja See more
