The Cat and Fiddle Arcade is a shopping mall located in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia and covering a city block of about 17 buildings[1] at 49-51 Murray Street, accessible via the Icon Complex on Liverpool Street and the Elizabeth Street Mall, and also bounded by Collins Street.
Its name derives from an 1817 alley near the Hobart Rivulet where an inn called the Cat & Fiddle operated until 1862.[2] Charles Davis Limited operated at this location from 1847 to 1984 (which acquired FitzGerald's Department Stores in 1981).[3] Major floods have affected the mall, including in 1929, 1947 and most recently in 2018.
The arcade is famous for its musical clock, which features the Cat and the Fiddle nursury rhyme played by glockenspiel and vibraphone. Along with at least 70 specialty stores, the mall contains a Myer and Target which each cover two levels.[4]
