We recommend that you book your accommodation as soon as possible – Hobart is a popular destination any time of the year, and the weekend after the conference is a long weekend due to the Queen’s birthday so it is expected that accommodation in Hobart will be in demand, 4th - 8th June 2012. 

Getting there; Travel

By Air

Four airlines, Qantas, Jetstar, Virgin Blue and Tiger Airways, operate regular daily jet services between mainland Australia and Hobart, Tasmania. A wide variety of flight times are available throughout the day. Frequent scheduled direct flights cross Bass Strait daily from Melbourne (approx one hour), Sydney (approx two hours) and Brisbane (approx three hours) to Hobart. Convenient connections from international hubs and all other Australian states are also available.

By Sea

Delegates may enjoy the opportunity to experience sea travel, journeying from Melbourne to Tasmania with their cars on the Spirit of Tasmania. On board, a range of accommodation options is available and entertainment options abound including restaurants, bars and lounges.

Of particular benefit is the ability to bring your own car to Tasmania, providing the perfect opportunity for pre and post-conference touring. The service departs Melbourne nightly at 9pm and arrives in Devonport (in northern Tasmania) at 7am the following morning.
