Hobart Real Tennis Club

TIME : 2016/2/18 14:30:45

Dating from 1875, this is one of only five such tennis courts in the southern hemisphere (the others are in Melbourne, Ballarat, Sydney, and Romsey in country Victoria). Real (or ‘Royal’) tennis is an archaic form of the highly strung game, played in a jaunty four-walled indoor court. Visitors can watch, take a lesson ($50) or hire the court ($40 per hour per two players).
