Tamar Boat House

Coming from Launceston or Hobart, the quickest way is via the East Tamar Highway, then across the Batman Bridge.  All new highway, no towns to stop at but you do get to stop at the Batman Bridge for a photo session.  If you want to see towns, then take the West Tamar Highway through Exeter.

Coming from Devonport, the quickest way is via the Frankford Highway to Exeter, then onwards to Kayena.  You will bypass Launceston coming this way, but you do get the opportunity to visit the Narawntapu National Park if you are so inclined.
