When I was in Tas imd last year I stayed at the Cosy Cabins

http://www.cosycabins.com.au/

There are two places in Hobart that Cosy Cabins are located, all set catered places, pretty cosy, 6 people to a cabin, a double bed + 4 single bunks.

Its pretty cheap accommodation as its all self catered, but I'm unsure which location (Mornington or Bowen) would be closer to the Con.

Thoughts on this Nick?

Last time Old Ben & i went to Tassie we had loads of trouble finding accommodation in Hobart for friday & saturday all the locals booked it out to go to the markets , they didn't want to travel the 20 minutes home ( too far to go we were told)

May I suggest you get in NOW for the accommodation as it books out early

Tassie a really beaut spot to visit , Mole Creek the really beautiful camping area beside the river and that really great road from there to the top of the mountain to the village with the murals

I'll have to buy another lottery ticket so I can go too

Just got off the phone with the event people.

They're in discussion with Wrest Point about a rate for the convention. He'll let me know as soon as he finds out.
