Venue
Both the conference and workshop will be held in and around the Hunter

waterfront, 5 minutes walking distance from the CBD, Salamanca Place,
Maritime Museum of Tasmania and the ferry to the Museum of Old and New Art,
amongst many other attractions, and under the shadow of the imposing peak
of Mount Wellington. There will be an Indonesian textile exhibition in the
Plimsoll Gallery (within the venue) in addition to other cultural
activities. A variety of accommodation options are within walking distance
from the conference venue.
Getting There
Cheap airfares from other places in Australia to Hobart often available.
Airlines servicing Hobart include: Jetstar, Qantas, Tiger Air, and Virgin.
The venue is located 17 kilometres (a 20-minute taxi-ride) from Hobart
airport.
Those who would like to have a little adventure before attending the
conference can travel by ferry across Bass Strait. The Spirit of Tasmania
will take you from Melbourne to Devonport, and from there you can take bus
or other land transport to Hobart.
Redline and Tassielink coaches operate services from Devonport, Launceston
and other Tasmanian cities to Hobart.
Accommodation
Participants and speakers must arrange their own accommodation for the
duration of the conference. Hobart has a range of hotels, motels and budget
accommodation. It is best to stay in the City area and walk or catch public
transport to the venue. Information about accommodation (including
backpacker options) can be found at Hobart Travel Centre. You also can find
accommodation through other online services such as Hotel or Agoda.
In terms of distance and budget, the organising committee recommends the
following: Astor Private Hotel, Fountainside Hotel, Hotel Collins or The
Old Woolstore Apartment Hotel.
For a slightly more indulgent experience we recommend: Henry Jones Art
Hotel, Salamanca Inn or Somerset on the Pier .
Public Transport
If you are arriving by the Redline coach from other Tasmanian cities you
will arrive at its transit centre located in Liverpool Street. The
Tassielink Hobart's transit centre is located in Brisbane Street. The venue
in Hunter Street is within walking distance (allow 20 to 30 minutes) from
both transit centres. Some city buses also travel past the venue. For a
detailed map indicating the numbers and routes of these buses please visit
Metro Tas.
