Hi Ma

Yes I will be summering in Tasmania - sailing next Saturday night and booked to return at the end of January.

Have never been to tasmania before so have no idea as yet as to where would be a good place to meet up!
If anyone has any good ideas let us know!

The Cradle Mountain area is pretty central to all of Tassie so that would be a thought.

I will be there mid Jan for 4-5 weeks and looking fwd to seeing Tassie as I haven't been there before.

Ma · Guru

We'll still be there then so will make some tentative arrangements when you get over there. I think I pm'd you my phone number didn't I. If I did give me a ring when you arrive and we will see where we are and which way we are both travelling

Hi Ma,

We are planning to travel across the Tasman next Sept 2012. Now we were over there in 2008 and we like it so much we are heading back there. Now on your travels around the apple Isle have you come across alot of free camping areas.

When we were over there be came across heaps of places to stay and camp out and I was just wounding if things have changed.

See ya

Mick

Still travelling the great west, we are camped just out of York WA.

Ma · Guru

I'll let you know once we have been there and get back Mick. Not going till middle of November.

according to camps 6 there seems to be numerous freebies over there.

MA, I saw a doco on tv a little while back on the state forests in tassie, they said that there is enough free camps in the forests that you could put in a week in each & that would take 12mths.

Ma · Guru

Thanks Jim will look into it.

Ma · Guru

I have been in touch with Blaze Vic and he has helped greatly. Thanks for the thoughts

Vic · Guru

Blaze lives there (but in WA at the moment) so if he doesn't see this post pm him, he should be able to give some good advice.

We can't make it but will be thinking of you all !!

I will be in Tas over December till mid January with the Teardrop caravan. Can attend a getogether there if there is anything going.

Ma · Guru

OK, lets get the ball rolling people. How many of you either live in Tassie or are here on the island at the moment and more importantly, where are you.

Surely we can get some sort of get together organised even if there are only a couple of us.

If you aren't here at the moment but intend to be within the next few months let us know so an approximate date can be organised as well as a central location

mid january would be good for us ma, my thoughts would be around launceston as its fairly central as far as driving time from norwest, west and south around hobart.
cheers
blaze

Ma · Guru

That sounds logical Blaze. Let's see how many more are up for it.

blaze · Guru

did I mention ma that south of hobart is a magic spot too, down around the huon
cheers

Ma · Guru

I went down to Huonville some 12 years ago Blaze so I am looking forward to seeing how much things have changed

Hi Guys we are heading over this Sunday 27th Nov 2011 and will be there for 2 weeks, we'll keep track of this post and see if we can catch up with anybody, we're travelling anti clockwise as close to the coast line as possible, can't wait. See you there.

Sue & Steve smile

Ma · Guru

You just might bump into us somewhere as we will be still in the area in a weeks time. Have PM'd you.

Sue - Steve Gazel · Veteran Member

Hi Ma,we've flying around doing all the site seeing things in the rain and now have finally shaken it off (The Rain). We have slowed down now and are up in the St Helens area at the moment and then heading for Launceston in a few days time. Have seen some fantastic sites, Port Arthur, The Wilderness Railway, Wine Glass Bay and we drove and camped on the Western Explorer road down the west coast. Hope to catch up with you if your in the area or any other Grey Nomads.

Regards

Sue & Steve

Ma · Guru

We are just down the road from you at Laggons Beach Conservation Reserve. Give me a ring and you can pop in for a cuppa on your way through

Ma · Guru

Sorry to have missed you guys when you called in.

Now that I have seen your rig up close in the photo I realise that we passed you along the road on our way home from St. Helens this morning as you were heading up.

We have to go back to St. Helen's in the morning to the chemist so if you are still in the area maybe we might be able to meet then. We will meet up one of these days and it sure isn't because we haven't been trying......lol

G'Day to all of you travelling around Tassie.

I was just wondering if you could keep an eye open for some friends of mine who are also travelling around there as well.

They are travelling in a "motorhome" called Kitty's Kennel.

They are from Bundaberg and will be tin Tas for quite a while.

Say hello to Jan and Barry, they are really nice down to earth people.

They have a new pup travelling with them. "Jack"

Every one has been friendly and welcoming to us, so I thought it would be great if you could welcome them to the GN community.

Thanks for that.

Note: I asked for their permission to post this, as I didn't want to do something that would embarrass them.

Will certainly keep out eyes open for them Brownie. Do you know where they are at the moment?

Peterpan · Guru

Heard that they were watching the whales at Burnie, Ma.

Thanks

Brownie

Ma · Guru

We've already been through Burnie and are now on the east coast pp.

Let them know that there is a good free camp at Lagoons Beach halfway between Bicheno and St. Helens.

If they are around that area tell them to keep an eye out for us too we have Blue & Ma on the back of our van.

Peterpan · Guru

Ma,

I have let them know, they will keep an eye out for you smile

Barry plays a number of different musical instruments. Very talented man.

Thanks for your thoughts.

With quite a few of us either already here or heading over it might be nice if we could work out something where we can all meet for a cuppa.

To start, maybe if each of you put on this thread the dates you will be here and I will see if I can organise something if you would like me to.

We are here now and leave on the 26th February.
