There are numerous metro buses going past MONA, you can get there for less than a fiver. Some public transport routes are better than others, but there are public buses nearly everywhere within the greater Hobart area.
Hey Frank. Good job. Appreciate the work you put into this
I love that you thought MONA was like a Bond Villians lair, it's exactly what I thought too. We are heading back to Tassie in a copule of weeks and this is on the agenda to visit again. Absolutely loved it!
"What the weather is usually like in Tasmania". Actually that is nonsense. Far more days than not, there is blue sky and sunshine - albeit with some cloud in the sky. Hobart has the second lowest amount of rainfall of any capital city in Australia: only slightly more than Adelaide. Also, it is easy to get quite close to MONA by bus. All you have to do is take a bus out into the northern suburbs and then walk about ten minutes across to the museum.

@@chadvaurela4806 That is very true. Not such a problem most of the time though when you're walking around rather than riding a bike. Admittedly, there are rare occasions when the wind is gale force - at which time it's probably more enjoyable to be in a pub imbibing a pint of some great local brew. 😉

Mate. You don't have to take the ferry. There are buses. That's way too costly for it to be the only public transport available to tourists. We all bus with metro from eighter Hobart or Glenorchy
Loved this
Per buses to MONA... There's some that drop you about 10min walk away. That's literally five seconds on Google Maps. Public transport outside the cities, yeah, kinda crappy.
Thanks for the info
You could find a taxi, wow. There aren't many there. And it costs heaps to go anywhere too far. Tasmanian is beautiful. Just difficult to get around long distances. A friend moved there and loves the weather.
As a tassie can you visit Burnie Please also you should go on a Strahan boat it’s super cool and everyone there’s really nice and sarah island is amazing
Why was that Ozy flag upside down on the ferry mate?.. Great video !...👍🇬🇧🇦🇺 shout out to the campaign to end native logging!..
Amazing
As I am from Tassie Hobart area I do agree that tourist attraction are pretty far away but Moana is not that far you can take a bus from Hobart that goes past Moana. But for other places like hiking places for tourist and stuff that is pretty far and would require a car due to no bus services but other than that everything in Hobart area is busable
"buttery 120" was excellent

How high of a demand do you think tattoo artists are down here? Also, I hope you're a millionaire, because the average 2 bedroom house anywhere close to the city costs around $800,000

Hi….just discovered your channel….really great….super tips as well….I am heading down down under end of the year with my wife….second time in Tassie….I live the other side of the planet on the island of Jersey…..we have decided as we have a short trip, to visit Tassie a few more times over the coming years to split the island up …we will hire a car next time, this time I have four trips all booked up….let others do the driving….ok not cheap, but bah….wife’s special birthday, so why not….looking forward to coming back to Tassie…..after a short visit back to our favourite city of Melbourne prior…..thanks for sharing video….cheers and good health to you.

theres public transport the buses will take you most places and there are regional bus services also. The thing is Hobart is not Melbourne or Sydney so no point coming here from Melbourne or Sydney and expecting it to be like home whats the point of a holiday you might as well save yourself the plane trips. 😏
