Information for Delegates
Dear Conference delegate,
We’re excited to welcome you to the Southern Frontiers: Mapping Myths and Realities Conference next month. To help with planning, we have included some notes on logistics, an accommodation offer, and a question about dietary requirements.
Getting to MONA
Friday, 17 October – Day 1
The Day 1 program starts 9:00am, before the ferries commence. so please arrange alternative transportation to ensure you arrive on time. Options include:
• Taxi/Uber: About 11 km (around 20 minutes) from central Hobart ($28–$35). Ride-sharing is a good option.
• Bus: The X20 and X22 depart Hobart Interchange for MONA (trip is about 40 minutes). You can pay your fare with a Greencard or cash. For more information and bus timetables, see
Metro Tasmania – Hobart to MONA services (PDF)
• Car: On-site parking is available.
Heading back after Day 1
After canapés (5:00–6:00pm), we’ve arranged a free coach back to Elizabeth St, CBD. We’re also planning a casual dinner for around 20 people that evening. If you’d like to join, please let us know.
Saturday, 18 October – Day 2
The ferry will arrive in time for the Day 2 start (10.00am). The last ferry departs MONA after the conference closes (3.45pm), so you’ll be able to return to Hobart easily.
