Welcome to Tasmania....
The Budgerigar Council of Tasmania invites all
Budgerigar breeders/exhibitors/visitors and guests to
the 2009 Australian National Championship Show which is
to be staged in Burnie from 22 – 28 May 2009.
Burnie situated on the coastline of Bass Strait is
Tasmania’s third largest city and located on the
beautiful North West Coast. The theme for the 2009
National Show is based on the endangered Tasmanian
Devil, hence the theme ‘Be a Devil in 2009 and come to
Tasmania.’
Our aim is to ensure costs be kept to a minimum for the
event to be within reach of all breeders, exhibitors,
visitors and guests. Events have been planned over seven
days, but we hope visitors will extend their stay and
travel throughout many areas of our magnificent Island
State.
Burnie is a regional city and is served by regional
airports at both Wynyard and Devonport. Major airports
are located at Launceston and Hobart. Hire cars are
available at all airports and we recommend our sponsor ‘Budget’
rental. It is anticipated that bus transport will be
available from Devonport and Launceston at a small cost
for those requiring it (more details re this later).
Those electing to fly into Hobart will need to rent a
car for the 3 hour 40 minute trip to Burnie. The
Spirit of Tasmania is an ideal travel choice as
it sails from Melbourne to Devonport daily and the drive
is 40 minutes to Burnie. In choosing sea travel visitors
will experience a mini cruise of a 12 hr overnight trip
and enjoy the luxury of bringing their own vehicle at a
reasonable cost.
The month of May in Tasmania is cool, so come prepared
for all seasons while visiting our ‘Treasure Island.’
