I've had to change the direction of the trip - we'll now be going anti clockwise Thurs 7- boat Fri 8- Strahan Sat 9- Strahan Sun 10- Triabunna Mon 11- Triabunna Tue 12- boat I've booked myself in here for the Friday and Sat nights. (probably the better nights to be in Strahan anyway). https://www.wotif.com/West-Coast-Tasmania-Hotels-Strahan-Village.h922100.Hotel-Information?chkin=8%2F3%2F2019&chkout=10%2F3%2F2019&rm1=a1&sort=recommended&hwrqCacheKey=1993c7d8-5900-4864-bc24-96016f011711HWRQ1549429386481&cancellable=false&regionId=3265&vip=false&c=07d16388-7a46-45f0-8126-c1b5e263e542&&exp_dp=268&exp_ts=1549429385591&exp_curr=AUD&swpToggleOn=false&exp_pg=HSR Anyone who's on the fence about coming - better make a decision quickly @MBAF @demon1300 @Psshhhht Cheers Rab, I was pretty sure I already said I won't be able to make it, but yeah I'll just have to wait until a Vic cruise is on. Sounds like the Tassie one will be a good one for those who can make it though Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Report post #78 Posted 07/02/19 08:45 AM fair enough. I'd love to go but no money and up for clutch, tires, power steering line, and I'm pretty sure my rego and/or insurance in due pretty soon too, so not looking forward to these bills haha Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Report post #80 Posted 16/02/19 02:03 AM Looking at meeting up here before we jump on the boat https://pierportmelbourne.com.au/ BCB and MBAF are likely to be in the area so would be a great chance to catch up with them before we embark.

Report post #84 Posted 16/02/19 07:45 AM It looks fancy. Did you have to make a reservation? I'm pretty sure we are departing at 1930hrs so we should aim for around 1600hrs. Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Report post #90 Posted 18/02/19 10:51 AM so I've stuffed up and left the booking of the boat too late and there appears to be no room for cars on the Thursday night (only)... Should I pay the extra and leave on Wednesday night and stay an extra night in Devonport? or leave 9am Friday and miss out on the first day of stuff (you guys can do Strahan touristy stuff on Day 1?)

Report post #92 Posted 18/02/19 11:44 AM bugger... https://tickets.racv.com.au/en-AU/shows/gordon river cruises/events says that the Gordon River cruise thingo leaves at 8:30am... no way you guys could do that specific cruise on the first day as you'll be getting off the boat at around 7am at the earliest... oh well, will be limited if I leave on the Friday day-sail... going to call them in the morning and ask if I can be put on some sort of list to go based on a cancellation for the Thursday night. Don't really want to do the Wednesday night sail... we'll see how it goes. Going to be spending bulk dollars haha might just fly up to the gold coast and enjoy a week up there instead, if things go spectacularly bad...

Report post #94 Posted 18/02/19 12:21 PM basically could be worse. Have done the cruise twice and GF's health isn't really conducive to this sort of thing at the moment, anyway, so it might end up making my decision for me. Sucks, though, as it's an epic cruise.

Report post #99 Posted 19/02/19 01:15 AM Pffft Keith - small problems. 24 hours before the Snowys cruise you didn't even have a car and you sorted that one out.BTW would have loved to come on this one with you guys but that weekend is the little guy's birthday and a regular camping trip at the coast with a few other families. 1 Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
