Gin-uary is held in Hobart – Tasmania’s capital city which is located in the south of the State. The easiest way to get to Hobart is via Hobart Airport, which is located about 20 minutes from the Hobart CBD and can be accessed via Uber, Taxi, Hire Car or SkyBus. Gin-uary itself is at Princes Wharf 1 (PW1) Castray Esplanade on Hobart’s beautiful waterfront. Gin-uary is just a stones throw from Hobart’s historic Salamanca – perfect for grabbing breakfast from the market on Saturday morning and to enjoy Hobart’s nightlife after the event.
