Otago, Tasmania


Otago is a suburb on the eastern shore of Hobart, capital of Tasmania, Australia. It is located on the shores of Otago Bay. At the 2016 Australian Census the suburb recorded a population of 554.
The area takes its name from the iron barque Otago, the only command of the author Joseph Conrad, which was dismantled at a shipbreaking establishment that operated at the bay between the 1920s and 1960s. The remains of the Otago and a steel river steamer the Westralian can still be seen on the beach.
