Myself & my 7 year old son are heading to Tassie.
Looking at leaving for overnight cruise on the Spirit of Tasmania.
Departure Melbourne 7.30pm Monday 14/12/2015 arrive in Devonport next morning.
Return departure from Devonport 23/12/2015 either, 9am for day cruise or 9pm for over night cruise. (Not exactly sure as yet)
I havent booked as yet, but will be booking by the 08/08/2015. These dates are still on the off peak season. (You must do own booking if interested)
Trip purpose is to travel around Tassie, do the sight seeing thing, do some tracks off-road, fishing, do some hiking etc, camp at camping grounds, or camp at caravan parks.
Im only looking for family orientated members. (Sorry, not interested in groups of males with no kids).
Im not sure if there will be much interest for families at that time a year, but i want to cap it at max 4 vehicles. I have no travel criteria plans at this stage i was just going to wing it day by day, but if this trip shows any interest, there is still heaps of time to make a trip plans etc.
Vehicle preperations-
UHF
All recovery equipment must be self supplied, at least bare minumin of snatch strap
All Terrain tyres minumin
Tyre Air Compressor/pump
Self sufficent for camping, which includes taking your own rubbish out with you
The roads & tracks may vary from very easy to difficult, pending on vehicles & driver experience that may attend.
I'm not a trip leader/organiser, just looking for a couple of vehicles to come to Tassie with me, I've got more then 15 years of experience of 4wding touring & travelling. I'm travellling in a Nissan GU Patrol, Ive got a good mapping system on my Samsung tablet & we'll get paper maps as well.
I'll definatly be booking my fares as of 08/08/2015, so that gives 4 weeks for you peoples to work out your plans
