  • Link Airlines First Flight to Hobart
    MEDIA RELEASE 5 November 2020 Canberra Airport celebrates first flight to Hobart with Link Airways Today, Canberra Airport celebrates the first flight between Canberra and Hobart since 2013, in partnership with Link Airways. This comes after the Tasmanian Government’s recent announcement to open borders to the ACT from October 26 and to NSW residents from 6 November 2020. Flights have been increasingly popular since the announcement of the new service just 4 weeks ago, with the first four flights now sold out. Link Airways has promptly responded to the demand, adding additional services to assist passengers looking to travel before the end of the year. Canberra Airport’s Head of Aviation, Michael Thomson is pleased with the support for the new service and believes that is another boost for the region in our COVID recovery. “We are delighted to see the steady return of aviation with flights consistently increasing each week as border restrictions ease across Australia and, with more flights and more destinations on offer like Hobart, we are confident that this will continue.” Mr Thomson said. Link Airways Chief Executive Officer, Andrew Major said Link Airways is delighted to expand their network, connecting local Canberrans with Hobart and to offer Hobart residents the opportunity to visit the nation’s capital. “As borders reopen, we’re delighted to be a part of reconnecting loved ones who have been separated due to COVID, as well as supporting the local tourist economies of Canberra and Hobart. The demand for this route has been there from the beginning, so we’re particularly pleased to now facilitate the route.

Preface The St Clair Quadrangle, to which this report refers, contains the southern continuation of the glaciated region already surveyed in the Du Cane Quadrangle immediately to the north. Like the Du Cane Quadrangle, the St Clair Quadrangle has little mineral wealth but much to interest the bushwalker, and in addition, its easier access brings it within the range of the tourist. Indeed, a large part of the State's biggest scenic reserve, the Cradle Mountaln­ Lake St Clair National Park, occurs in this Quadrangle. Economically, the chief interest is centered in peculiarities of topography and drainage, enabling development of natural and artificial storage lakes to assist in t he production of hydro-electricity so necessary for industrial expansion. The St Clair Map Sheet presents a wide range of interesting studies for a variety of geologists including especially those inter~ ested in geomorphology and engineering, and it is to be hoped that this report will be followed by fUrther study.

Intervals were measured using Worden gravity meter W913 and Sodin gravity meter S183 with a minimum of six measurements of each interval. The measured interval between Hobart Airport and Strahan Airport was in error by 2.1 ~m/sec2 and between Strahan and Smithton Airports was in error by 0.2 ~/sec2.

  • Heritage Highway
    HERItage HIGHWAY The Heritage Highway traces much of the START: Hobart or Launceston original route between Launceston and DURATION: 1-2 days Hobart, built by convict road gangs in the early 1800s. Drive through rolling farmlands, explore charming Georgian villages, stay on historic pastoral properties and savour the rich and colourful history of the place and its people. Access the Heritage Highway from Hobart or Launceston, from the East Coast via Campbell Town or Fingal, or from Port Arthur via Richmond. LEG TIME / DISTANCE Launceston to Campbell Town 50 min / 67 km Campbell Town to Hobart 1 hr 30 min / 133 km Launceston - Campbell Town > Departing from Launceston, the first stop is Evandale, a charming colonial village with Georgian buildings dating back to the 1820s. > An alternative route to Evandale is via Ben Lomond, a 40-minute drive from Launceston. Ben Lomond is the largest single alpine area in Tasmania and in the summer is a spectacular place to walk and spot wildlife, while its magnificent views add to the thrill of rock climbing, mountain biking and abseiling. > After Evandale, it’s on to the gracious Clarendon homestead, just 11 km south, on the banks of the South Esk River, with its elegantly furnished rooms overlooking extensive formal gardens, beautiful parklands and the original farm buildings. > Also on the banks of the South Esk are the townships of Perth and Longford, about 20 minutes from either Evandale or Launceston. Picnic on the riverbank at Perth or stop for lunch in Longford, a pretty, classified historic town, known for its convict-built houses and English country landscape.
