Brett, I have no idea, but we won't be going unfortunately. Our new house is about to start being built and we need to be close by.

I might try and turn up at the Ferry terminal though on the wednesday as i think most are leaving that evening?

Perhaps others from Vic who are not going, could do the same? [although i am unsure if there is room to park close to the terminal, to see others there?]

Best to ask Steve and Peggy.

Hmmm, its a good question. In Adelaide last year, most were saying they'd be there. Some absent said they were saving for Tassie.
Stuff happens, and priorities change. I know many will be there in spirit.
Those that will be there in the flesh? Well, I can count 11 owners that are definately going, including myself and Gary Carter. Ironic if Queensland is the most represented state! Surely there will be more, and we will be there to meet them all coming off the boat on the Thursday.
We leave next monday! Woo Hooooooo!

Cheers, Matt.

Hey Matt. Hope you have a beer for me when I get off the boat . gricey

Matt . Elvis .. Is the boss of the terminal at devonport . That's right his name is Elvis .probably a name no one would ever forget . You could buy him a beer to . Gricey.

So........I might need a slab then?
Tassie has lots of apples, so maybe it will be cider.
But they have lots of hops too......

Hang on, its breakfast time. Can't be having this for breakfast! What about a nice tin of Milo?

Cheers, Matt.

how many are getting on the Tassie boat on the 15th ?

as noted above we won't be going but might take the Sport to the ferry terminal to wave you off......

glenn .......most are going on wed nite ........

thanks, will see if i can at least wave you off then/

Does anyone have an itinerary of the Nats schedule as yet?
Some will arrive at the last minute so they should know where things are to meet up.
Cheers

Thursday nite I'm told directly from those involved.

The first run is on the Thursday, starting from the arrival terminal in Devonport. We will be there to welcome Gary Carter, Gricey, and hopefully many others, and join the run. Steve and Peggy have mystery destinations for breakfast and the whole day, but I trust their judgement. I reckon they know the place pretty well.
It is an early start if the boat runs to time - 6.30am.

Glenn, there is plenty of parking down at the dock in Port Melbourne. I reckon they would enjoy a send off.
People can park up and go on board in convoy if they so desire, just get together in the street to sort it out before hand.
Once disembarked in Devo there is plenty of space to gather together if people are separated in the parking 'garages'. Its all pretty cas.
Declare any gas bottles and dont bring any plant matter.

Have I said it before? This is a great place!!
Cheers, Matt.

that's rite farmer ...no fruit ....boat gets in at 730 ...yes plenty of parking at port in melb $ 6.00 bucks hour yes most coming thus morning

The other thing to remember is you are not allowed to carry fuel, and if you do have fuel container needs to be filled with water.
I found out the hard way.


and another thing for us canetoads is from this Sunday the paint on your cars will fade........ Daylight saving begins.

Geoff

what time do you have to be there, before boarding ?

are there any other BCCV members not going to Tas, but would like to see them off? Would be nice to have a few of us there.

boarding starts from 5 onwards

THANKS

Glenn, Rod is correct in saying that boarding starts at 5.00 pm, I personally plan on being down there about 4.30pm at the latest, it would be good to see you down there to wave us off. Cheers steve

Wahoo you guys floating with us I assumed you would be waiting over in tassie I must finish off the car in the next few day's Or I will be doing it on the way there.

I'm waiting on Donkey's radiator to come back so I can do the first leg of the QLDer roadtrip, before doubling back to catch a plane to Perth.
I have to at least roadtrip at Jamba...... It's killing me that I'm missing out on my Bellett family vacation

If worst comes to worst I'll drive 'Dingdong' instead
