[VIC] EOI Tassy Trip
Hey guys, this was raised a while ago but drop into oblivion due to a number of issue.

A few people have expressed interest in resurecting this so I am trying to guage interest.

At this point we are looking at the following dates in 2007:

Australia Day Weekend (Jan 26-28)

Labour Day Weekend (Mar 10-12)

Easter Weekend (Apr 6-9)

I am looking to guage peoples interest and availability in attending these dates, regadless of cost at this stage.


Cheers

Andrew

What is the low season among them all?

I heard low season - Spirit of Tasmania is half the price.

I'd love to do this.

Can't do Australia Day but could do the other two suggested time slots.

I love Tassie. Fantastic driving too.

Yep, I have someone working on a package deal/price. Was trying to keep it price free for the moment to just because price can vary so much.

Speaking for myself, I'd prefer Easter because it's a longer holiday period to cover the drive down and back.

What kind of itinerary have you got in mind Andrew? I've got a few ideas that might add some extra dimensions to the trip if time allows.

We might have to have a chat about it over a beer or 5 next weekend.

Mike,

If we go, we'll be sans kids (too much driving to keep them occupied).
