Museum of Old and New Art : Hobart Tasmania : Getting there


The professionalism of the MONA facility, for me is highlighted by the number of options available for punters to get to the venue.
You can drive, hire a bike, catch a bus, walk, run, and almost certainly swim to the site.

I caught the ferry out to the gallery. A return ticket and gallery entrance can be bought as a bundle at the bright purple MONA booking office down on the waterfront.

After departure, a live commentary was provided by the captain. He highlighted points of interest such as the Botanical Gardens, and the site of a collision between a the bulk carrier Lake Illawarra and the Tasman bridge back in the Seventies.

Arrow marks missing pylon

The wreck is still there under the bridge 20 meters down. My mate, a Hobart local reckons they wouldn't be here today if her parents hadn't stopped to pick up a hitchhiker. They just missed falling through the gap and into the drink.
Checking us out

We cruised past a small bay and saw 'pre-Anglo history' Aboriginal cave dwellings, and caught a glimpse of a White-bellied Sea-Eagle (nests of which I'm told, can be as large as a double bed).
