Hi,
   Go West, young man.


Map


We waited in First Point Rd last time, heaps of space along the Boulevarde, and a few car parks for the beach there as well.


Most of the seething masses seem to park along  Beach Street where it is crowded and expensive.


cheers

I'm pretty sure I've heard Ashley Garden Big 4 in Footscray offer temporary parking for people travelling on the ferry.

Great advice Austastar.I am parked on the Boulivarde at the moment
waitng to board tonight.There is plenty of space here paticularly if you
have a caravan or motorhome.The weather looks moderate for tonight.
Tour de Tassie starts tomorrow.

Hi
     Anvers (House of chocolate) is just before Latrobe, on your right, just after the first 80 limit sign approaching Latrobe.

Had a great trip across last night.Only got to about 1.5m waves
I think  so I actually had a reasonable nights sleep.Stopped at
Christmas Hill Raspberry Farm for brekkie this morning.Was
very tasty.the weather down here was awesome for our first
day in Tassie.Looking forward to the next 5 weeks.
