Just had a look taking my van over bit of a shock but at least Brett and Jillsy’s bill will be more.

Sitting around a fire at night in board shorts and tank top. Sounds like the best of both worlds. You Victorians will just have to tone the camp fires down from an inferno to a more gentle bon fire level.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHSavKPjZ1w

or to Weldborough and the nearby iconic Pub in the Paddock @ Pyengana
http://pubinthepaddocktas.com.au/

VKPrado has drive notes already prepared and knows the local area well.

•   heaps of nearby wineries

•   The campground can be quickly accessed, within 1.5 hours travel from the Ferry Terminal at Devonport.

•   September school Holidays in Tasmania are not super busy like January or Easter Holidays.
You will have room to move in this (and any other campground on the island) location. The proposed date
(middle weekend of eastern big island school holidays) gives additional travelling/holiday times for those
wanting to have a longer visit to the island. The September/Oct period usually has pretty settled weather.

More images to come

Loooks magnificent!

If you can keep your length 10m and under the price stays the same but unfortunately if you go over 10.1m you pay extra by the meter.

You can only book 11 months in advance so it pays to book as soon as you can, especially if over 2.1m in height. It doesn't cost any more for the extra height, just that there is less places.

Re: tassie, I think the ferry price is reasonable but is you’re looking at the price just for the weekend plus a day or two either side than yes the numbers don’t stack up.

Our last trip was three weeks over Xmas, ferry cost spread over three weeks in tassie than the five weeks of the trip was a distant memory.

Agree tassie would affect numbers but it’s those that turn up that make the gathering. I reckon it would be no different to the big caravan clubs.

I always tell friends if they want to come over with a camper to come for at least 10 days.

Having the potential meet in the anticipated middle week of the most populated states school holidays gives mainlanders something to plan around.

If anyone wants to come for a shorter time I would swag it (like we did to the Mansfield National Meet) , or potentially team up with someone else and camp with a friend.

VKPrado · « **Reply #44 on:** July 16, 2019, 04:19:56 PM »

People seem to forget just how long it takes to get to places in Tasmania due to the nature of the roads here. Yes they are twisty, yes they are narrow in places, yes the road conditions vary greatly from corner to corner, yes there are tourists on the road getting in the way, but at the end of the day the journey is part of the adventure.

Slow down and enjoy the scenery, smell nature and have a great time in the smallest state of Australia.
