That's a good point. What is the plan for the sailing time.

[gt orphanage]

cabin sleep through it.

[Farmer]

No way, daytime for us! Never been on a sea voyage before, so can't waste it. How bad can it be? - Its a big tub, not a runabout,so should be pretty smmoth!
Um, well we could train by going to Luna Park a lot!
I wanna sit up the back & watch the mainland sail away.

Bring it awn!

Cheers, Matt.

Yep.
A couple of us were going to hold it in Bathurst to celebrate 50 years since the Belletts raced in the 500 there, but now it'll be in Albury with Jim and Cheryl.
Looking forward to it being close to home again.

Check out the Tassie Ferry web page:

I did a dummy run through the various prices, for return Ferry trip:

Sailing times (night or day) depend on actual day of travel I think. The dates shown are night sailings and may not be the actual dates of travel. Just examples.

see pictures for the accommodation type and total cost for two people return..

It appears the 'discount' for group bookings is not much.
eg Deluxe cabin $329 pp normally Vs $324 for group
Twin cabin $165 Vs $156
Sitting $99 Vs $94

[bembokabellettbloke]

bit more than I thoughttttttt
better start saving more lol heheheheheeheh

I was pretty surprised also at the cost.

You could mix and match though. eg go recliner seats one way and Deluxe cabin the other, etc.

.ahoy me harties a trip on the high seas .......ask captain errol Flynn since its going to his old country could we all sleep in our cars and have a wee picnic ......cars are only a small fare each way ..............just thought id ask....... .davo

[PR95]

Put the car on the boat then fly over would be cheaper.

[BULLITT]

smart thinking ...one way normal no specials and they do come ...forget the travel agents use your own souce ....$137 one way x2 $274 no food no sleeping no seasick ...no probs keep an eye on flight specials and check with boat just in case you have to be with your car ???? davo

[BULLITT]

so if its $180 for both ways for a car on the boat and $274 for air flights total $454 ????/in total
