Thanks John & Grace you will nicely round up our group and Grace we promise not to talk Syncros (or 4 Motions) all the time. You have already experienced that there is much in Tasmania to intrigue us.
The Participants are therefore:
John & Grace
Hartmut
Jurgen
Paul
Roger
5 vehicles 6 participants
Jurgen I have
printed a copy of your booking/ticket which I will give you in Melbourne. If you want a copy immediately then use the following link:

It would be worth all of us reading the terms and conditions of carriage but could I stress that our vehicles care likely to be seriously inspected for
any Fruit,vegetables,plants,fish or fish products which are not allowed INTO Tasmania by their quarantine laws.There can be severe penalties plus these inspections usually delay exit from the shipping terminal.
In Melbourne you will be asked if you are carrying any firearms. On a previous visit I had an inspector very confused on how he could look under the bonnet of my T3 to check for concealed weapons.
Jurgen I will need to talk to you about LPG cylinders as I doubt yours will have been stamped as meeting Australian standards. Would you confirm if you have gas
cylinders ,their type and any European approval and I will check with the shipping company what should happen .
You should all be aware that you do not again have access to your vehicle once onboard until arrival and therefore a small bag with requisites required on board should be kept separate.
For John and Grace as you are travelling overnight probably exiting the terminal between 8-9 am on Tues. 19th Feb. could I suggest we meet at the McDonalds on the opposite side of the river to where the Spirit is tied up. You will need to go round into Devonport and
keep the river on your right as you follow the signs or smell of hamburgers. At least 1 of us will be there from 8.30am. Coles is nearby for last minute supplies including replenishment of Fruit and vegetables etc. Do not panic about me making it a McTassie tour -there are not many in Tasmania.
You will have to decide whether to stick with your 8th March return or change to the 10th with us. We can discuss on the tour any modification necessary to do this.
I'm thinking the 4 of us travelling on the Mon 9am sailing should be at my house just North of the CBD by late afternoon on Sunday 17th
Feb. John and Grace I presume you will just arrive down in time for the evening sailing.
I'm confident its going to be a grand tour.
Cheers
Roger

voyage on Sun 10th so will be travelling with you both ways at the same
times. Can't quite reconcile your total cost unless you're in with the
Captain on the way back. Mine cost me $398 return viz To Devonport Red
Hot Deal $65 + 89 Vehicle = $154 from Devonport $155 Recliner+ $89 =
$244 Total $398
> Agree with your comments about the 2 Trakkas - saw the Peter Wilson
one with Mark Kofl when it was about to leave Melbourne plus your one
was rather special. Spoke last night to the new owner of my T3 - he is
putting in new springs to raise the height plus taller section tyres and
a winch and I thought it was already reasonably capable!

made their bookings. Let me know if you need any assistance.
