Hi, Will be in Hobart next week and I'm planning to get the bus to the Cadbury factory on a Monday morning. Does the number 37 bus go from Hobart to Cadbury without me needing to change busses in Glenorchy? I can't quite figure the timetable out!
Thanks
HI! Daniel:
I got this as a tip on my Hobart page, mate...and while I took Bus 38, I did not change bus. It was direct all the way.
On the timetable the services that show a little arrow after the Glenorchy column continue through, if not you change to the specified bus at Glenorchy (don't worry, this is a tiny busmall with only half a dozen bays and if you need to change it will be to a 39 at stop E)
An alternative method is to catch an XI from stop F outside the GPO to Glenorchy and connect with any ongoing service to Cadbury';s.
How funny that that the person from the Metro help desk is a VT'er!

Eat the OYSTERS from Barilla Bay Oysters. They are surely the freshest oysters that I have eaten so far. And only at A$7.00 for a dozen, you don't really wanna miss it! (Not really in Hobart itself, the shop is located along the road at Cambridge. You should spot a road sign that will guide you there.)
If you're looking to book some guided tours in and around Hobart (including to other parts of Tasmania), you can walk over to the piers and there are at least two tour companies operating from there. They have boat tours and bus tours. If you're one to prefer those types of tours, this is the place to go. It's right on the waterfront.
Tasmania is the place to be, I think, for nature lovers. good place to relax and turn green:) Even though much info is available on hand to tourists, the adventure starts when you discover the unexpected. Drive through one day and it is just amazing what you discover...
Historic visit to the Port Arthur Prison
The rich dark history of this place is as intrieging as it is sad. The noble residence stands tall stark in contrast to the convict prison of Port Arthur.
Between 1830 and 1877 about 12,500 transported convicts were imprisoned at Port Arthur, on the shores of a beautiful bay and set against the tranquil hills and forest of the Tasman Peninsula. Many of the sandstone prison buildings remain and have been preserved. Archaeologists and historians have pieced together the history of the prison and the sad story is told in an excellent display in the visitors’ centre.
This replica ship of the original Lady Nelson allows visitors today to experience the history of this once great ship. Small and oddly shaped for it's time, it came to serve the colony of Australia quite well and it's history can be detailed thoroughly. The link I've provided with this tip details much of the journies of this ship. Take the time to read it, it is quite interesting.
