[Yonks Ago]

Hello all,

Can any one know..what the time frame would had been to go between Tasmania and Victoria around 1860. I have been trying to find something but not having much luck.

Thanks in advance

Hello Yonks,
I'm not really sure, but just looking at some shipping departures and arrivals on Trove, I would say 1 day (depending on which ports in Tasmania and Victoria and the weather!) eg the Black Swan left Launceston 15 Nov 1860 for Melbourne and arrived 11:20 Port Phillip Heads 16 Nov 1860 and Hobson's Bay at 2:40.

Maddy52,

Thank you so much for that, wow did think it would had taken a few days.
I didn't even think of Trove..been trying through shipping, googling.

No worries!

If you're looking for a particular voyage Trove is always a good place to start.  We're so lucky to have such a fantastic free resource.

Maddy,

Yes I know..head all over the place and was not thinking.

Been all day in Trove and didn't even give it a thought to look there.

Thanks
Yonks
