THE SHIP THAT NEVER WAS

The Richard Davey Amphitheatre is in the village centre on the Esplanade, an easy walk from most Strahan sites, and situated next to the West Coast Visitor Information Centre. The amphitheatre is walker, wheelchair and mobility scooter accessible. The venue is outdoors and undercover, so ensure you dress warmly.

The play runs daily in the afternoons from September to May (excluding Christmas Day) and is sometimes performed in June and July subject to demand. The performance runs for about an hour and 15 minutes. Tickets are available at adult, concession, student and family prices, and carers assisting patrons carrying companion cards enter for free. Group bookings for 10 or more people can also be arranged. Book your tickets by calling or emailing ship@roundearth.com.au ahead of your visit, or at the box office on-site. Further details can be found on the website at roundearth.com.au.

Strahan is a 300-kilometre drive north-west from Hobart and a 226-kilometre drive south-west from Devonport. Public transport runs between Strahan and Hobart via Devonport and Launceston seven days a week, but note that Redline’s public transport route from Hobart to Strahan requires some stops and takes upwards of 10 hours. The 747 Tassielink bus transports people between Burnie and Strahan daily, stopping at the Esplanade and Harold Street stop, within very short walking distance of the Richard Davey Amphitheatre.
