Originally posted by Palmer View PostI'd be looking at flying anyone from Melbourne to Launceston, it's only an hour from the Devonport ferry terminal and the GTG will be starting in the Launceston area.

That's the kind of info that I was needing. Ill look into flights to Launceston and ill get the missus from there.

Yeah, Palmer120 and I were discussing that. It might prove to be a better option, but would be dependent on members' preferences.
Understand though, I don't really want to be looking a gift horse in the mouth, so to speak.[FONT=Century Gothic][B][SIZE=4][URL="http://www.pradopoint.com.au/showthread.php?36057-Ryback-s-Flinders-Red-120"][COLOR="#B22222"]'04 120 Petrol Flinders Red GXL[/URL][/COLOR][/B][/FONT][/SIZE]

Might hit you guys up for some ideas. Planning on heading over the week before and doing some sightseeing prior with the sprogs. Will need some ideas of places to go[SIZE=2]120 GXL D4D Auto, with a 'List of Wants' greater than the 'List of Needs' greater than the 'List of Haves'

Well it is decided. We will be going to the tassie GTG.
We went to the first GTG in 2009, and can't wait to get back to tassie and to catch up with the current batch of PPers.
Good to see some WA people keen. And would also like to spend some time there after the official things are done and dusted. So I'd like to convoy it with some fello WAPPers if your keen.

It just depends on who you are with, if you are towing, if you don't mind blacktop. That being said - there is lots to see![FONT=Century Gothic][B][SIZE=4][URL="http://www.pradopoint.com.au/showthread.php?36057-Ryback-s-Flinders-Red-120"][COLOR="#B22222"]'04 120 Petrol Flinders Red GXL[/URL][/COLOR][/B][/FONT][/SIZE]

We'll be up for a convoy from WA, maybe meet up in Norseman or somewhere. Then have to catch Bushbasher in Port Augusta as I guess he'll be coming down the Tanimi from Broome. Suppose I'd better book the ferry soon. We'll most likely choose a one way ticket as we would like to spend a bit of time there after the GTG.Can't we just keep travelling?

Still got to decide if I'm bringing a trailer yet.[SIZE=2]120 GXL D4D Auto, with a 'List of Wants' greater than the 'List of Needs' greater than the 'List of Haves'

Right, we are committed!
Ferry is booked, depart Melbourne Fri 18th Sept and return Fri 30th Oct. Cost us $1040 return for just me in a shared inside cabin and our Prado towing a small(yet to be built) caravan. Sherron will fly due to seasickness(might also be cheaper too).
That gives us a week of looking around before the GTG, then another 4 weeks after. Should be long enough, just hope we can save enough money to afford that much time off work! Really looking forward to having a good look around Tassie and having a crack at some of the mountain bike trails over there.
So....that may not work for others that want to convoy from WA, but we'll see you there.
On another note, when do we put our name down for the GTG? Better be soon because we will be overseas in about 3 weeks and wont have that much internet access. Although booking the ferry kinda means I am committed to coming really, so put my name on the list! 2 adults.Can't we just keep travelling?

The registration will hopefully be put up tonight, fingers crossed. Was meant to be last night but spent most of it in emergency with one very sore and broken boy after falling off a fence, nothing that 3 weeks in plaster will not fix.[B]Tasmania 2015 GTG Committee Member[/B] 2005 Prado Pilbara, Sovereign Bar, Driver & passenger weathershields, UHF TX3220, Spare wheel spaces, Lifestyle rack, Genuine front & midrow seatcovers, Genuine front & midrow rubber floor mats, ARB 47 litre fridge/freezer, Hilux washer jets, BF Goodridge A/T, Radiator protection plate, Dual battery tray and isolator, ARB 2.5m awning, Rhino heavy duty areo bars, MSA rear wheel bin, MAXTRAX
