| How far is Wrest Point from the LCA 2009 venue? |
It looks to me like Wrest Point is a bit of a hike from the conference venue:
So, does anyone know how long that would take to walk? How are other people planning on getting around while in Hobart?

Its less than 500 metres away -- not that far at all (closer than the colleges, I believe)

Its less than 500 metres away -- not that far at all (closer than the colleges, I believe) -- if youre a slow walker, it shouldnt take more than 15 minutes, but a more realistic expectation is 7.
In relation to getting around, the busses to/from the Uni are quite regular out of semester, and should be more than adequate for getting around the city, but everythings within walking distance anyway.
Dont let scale fool you :)

As a UTas student I can attest that it would take no more than ten minutes to get from where the talks are being held down to Wrest Point, at a comfortable amble.
Its slightly downhill, and the ovals and houses should give you a fair indication of how long it would take at your preferred pace.

5 to 10 minute walk - stayed at Wrest Point for Ghosts. Much easier than the student accom. where Im booked in for January (paying own way :-)
