Glebe is a suburb of Hobart, capital city of Tasmania, Australia. The suburb is a very small area adjacent to the city on the same part of land as the Queens Domain, the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens and the Hobart Aquatic Center.
Glebe is a small suburb in comparison to some in Hobart. On the north and east sides, the suburb is surrounded by the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens. Brooker Avenue marks the western boundary of the suburb, while the Tasman Highway marks the southern side.
The Glebe contains some amazing examples of Victorian and Federation Style wooden terraced houses, some of which are up to 4 stories high and tower over the Brooker Avenue impressively.
Glebe was the birthplace and early home of brothers Ernest, Tasman and Arthur Higgins, all of who became pioneering cinematographers of Australian cinema during the silent era.
