Getting Here
First you have to get to Tasmania.
Tasmania, or, "Tassie", as many Australians like to call it it
an island, so you have to fly or sail here. The most comfortable way to
get here is by boat, and the TT-Line vessel "Spirit of Tasmania"
sails from Station Pier in Melbourne's Docklands district to Devonport,
which is in the middle of our Northern Coastline. See
this page for more information. Once you get onto the island, you'll
drive for about three hours to get to Salamanca. Transport and
Accommodation information and bookings, HERE.
Public Transport
Hobart has a great public transport
system, but Salamanca Place is just about within walking distance from
anywhere in Hobart. Catch any bus to the city and it's only a few blocks.
Basically from the city head downhill until you reach the rivers edge and
follow the waters edge until you see the old stone warehouses. That's the
Place!
You'll be able to get a cab most times,
but don't count on finding one on New Years Eve.
Driving
If you take it easy, you'll find most people here are courteous on the
road. Parking is available near most of the places mentioned. Please know
that tourists occasionally crash here because they cover larger
distances that they usually drive, on roads that are designed to carry
lower volumes of traffic than other capital cities. So, please take it
easy, and pull over if you see more that a couple of cars banking up
behind you. We drive on the left side of the road.
Hobart is a 1 hour flight from Melbourne. Kendell and Qantas offer several flights each day.
Thrifty can organise a Rental car if you click

accommodation packages available from TasVacations
who can supply all you need in a custom holiday priced and packaged to
suit you.
