How do I get to the accommodation from the airport?

You can take the Airporter bus, which meets every flight at Hobart Airport, however, the nearest stop is on Churchill Avenue, which is down the hill from the Colleges.

Hobart Airport has relatively few flights so you'll almost certainly have other conference-goers on your flight.

Three people sharing a taxi to the University will generally be cheaper than taking the airporter bus. To see if other LCA people are on your flight, and to add yourself to the list, see the conference wiki.
