Gday

My names luke and i am from Victoria interested in walking Federaton Peak and i was just wondering how i am supposed to get from Hobart - after flying from melbourne, to the start of the walk now that there is no bus service.
Is anyone going in late january?

Dear Vissers,
I've just noticed your post languishing with no replies...
Check out the following post at the tail end of a thread about 'Fedder': Federation Peak and Blade Ridge Taxi Transport
There is a good bus service from Hobart to Huonville which will save some of the taxi fare. I checked the Yellow Pages and the taxi service referred to still exists. It sounds like you would not be the first one to enquire about such a service. I don't actually know what the transport from the airport to the city is like but I would assume there's a shuttle of some sort.
Of course, this is only helpful if you plan to walk from Farmhouse Creek or the YoYo (Huon) tracks. I do not know what the options are for reaching the Scotts Peak end of the Federation Peak (Eastern Arthurs) track.
