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

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.

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

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.
