Food, Petrol, Parking etc in-around Hobart

[Geoff_K]

Bill,

How 'open for business' will we find Hobart (and surrounds) on Good Friday?
If say, we took a little drive to say Cygnet, Huonville, Snug etc on Good Friday, would the tourist shops be open?
(and, what's available at Sandy Bay on the Picnic Run).

Parking in, and around Hobart City - are there any secure parking stations available for the general public should we want to look round the city in the week before the Nats?

How 'open for business' will we find Hobart (and surrounds) on Good Friday?

I doubt there will be too many businesses open over this period, with small 'corner stores' being an exception.

If say, we took a little drive to say Cygnet, Huonville, Snug etc on Good Friday, would the tourist shops be open?
(and, what's available at Sandy Bay on the Picnic Run).

I doubt there will be shops open at Cygnet due to it being Good Friday and the fact that Cygnet's a small town. The same goes for Snug. Both beautiful places though, and I highly recommend visiting.

Parking in, and around Hobart City - are there any secure parking stations available for the general public should we want to look round the city in the week before the Nats?

There are a few undercover parking stations to choose from - Argyle Street carpark, Trafalgar Place carpark, Market Place car park, plus a few others. This is a handy site to visit, it includes a map of car parking locations:

Bill has a big shed, enough room for a few FE's and FC's 

Cheers,

They will need to be preordered (about a week beforehand) and can be paid for at registration. A meal ticket will be issued.

Surely there has to be a good old fashion Aussie Milk Bar out there on the little island.

Hmmm a Pie and a milkshake is all that is required.

Surely there has to be a good old fashion Aussie Milk Bar out there on the little island.

There was one at Sorell (15 minutes away from Nats HQ), but I'm not sure if it's still there. Weddo, have you seen it in your travels? Likewise, there was a rock n' roll themed cafe at Moonah (20 minutes away from Nats HQ), again, I'm not sure if it's still there. I will have look next time I'm driving through.

FWIW you've got to check out Lotus Eaters Cafe at Cygnet - awesome food and a great scenic drive.

Cheers,

Josh.

The rock and roll themed diner/cafe that was situated at Moonah is no longer around.

Yes this is the way to order lunch packs, keep them coming, we get nothing out of it but it is a litte fund raiser for the GLENORCHY lions.
