We as Liz and Greg I know of 2 other qld booked and others that have plans so I can confirm there will be a few of us, sorry

nice what date you coming down south

be on the boat on the 15th. Then touring Tassie until the 31st.

WHO HAS BOOKED???????

Greg,
Have you decided what route the road trip will be taking as yet please?
Dave.

we are heading down Thursday with a lay day to watch Bathurst on the way down. but we will be following the coast. Cruising Tassie for the rest of the month after the nats. We have hired motor homes as it was our best option and the cars will go into storage.

Aldi"s snow gear sale should be soon and it's very good quality and WARM!!!!!
We do snow every august and my brats suffer the same "coldathobic" issues.

And try the local oppy shops - my daughter bought me a great warm snow coat from an opp on the gold coast really cheap. Southerners move up there with their stuff, then realise you don't have a winter, so give it to the opp. Then nobody buys it!
One thing you should have is waterproof stuff, you sure get rain!!
Cheers, Matt.

We have booked and paid for the boat also booked the camper . Thoes queens landers can't get rid of me to easy .planing to mt on the boat . Gricey.

Thanks guys. I've never been to Tassie so any advise is welcome.

Not really sure what to take .

I reckon you want something waterproof, long and waterproof! I imagine it will be like here, but wetter!
I'm taking my Drizabone and its hat and wool undercoat. My Merimbula jacket and some layers. Often you don't need bulk, just plenty of layers. Then you can add them or peel em as needed. Light thermal undies really are as good as they say. (Damart types.)
And wool socks, they are warm (ish) even when wet. And mittens are better than gloves, more grip and comfort.
And a wool beenie, if your head is warm you can get around in shorts.

Port is good too.

Cheers, Matt.

never rains in Tassie weather I beautiful at moment getting more rain on the north island

thanks guys

got it

plenty of port....

i will look like the Michelin man if i wear all that...

Now thats a look I love!

Hi everyone, don't believe what you hear about Tassie being cold. Average daily max for October on the NW coast is 17 degrees, with average minimum temp of 7. That's nowhere near freezing point.

Oh and If you've got room add in a good set of wet weather tyres.

So like Lizzie said....it's generally cold and wet
