In view of today's announcement, I thought it appropriate to post this image that was captured during a recent harbour sailing trip...

That's a good news!
I didn't see any economical by paying its fares to the Tasman.
Cost more than the trip for my family fly to Thailand 7 days, including return airfares, accomodation.
And wasted of taxpayer funds.
Let it sink!

And you're the only one has it :lol:

I agree... sort of... While I sentimentally like the idea of being able to take my own car to Tasmania...
In practice, I probably wouldn't bother and would probably fly down and hire a car instead... At least I'd be driving around in a clean car for a while... :lol:

I thought about taking it to travel to Tasmania, but the fares are fit for the QEII! No surprise at the lack of customers...

Driving down to Mel. and take the Tasman I or II is cheaper than using the Tasman III from Sydney to Tasmania.

Yes, flying over and hire a car is more economical.

Or swim accross the Tasman and save heaps :lol:

But please tell me: what and where's Tasmania? :shock:

It's that place that takes 5 days for an express post article from Sydney to get to. Has lots of cold nights, great beer, not too many people and a place where you can occassionaly find a rare treasure in a camera shop :wink:

Yes wonderful beer.

Im tempted to make an ordinary joke about miners but im going to leave it alone.

Bugger it.

I was booked to go to Tassie from Sydney on the 5th September and they cancel the service a week before my trip. Now I'll have to drive to Melbourne and cross there at only slightly less than the Sydney fare.

When you take into account 2 days driving towing a van at todays fuel prices plus accom and having to find your way onto the dock in Melbourne at 6pm then anything they wanted to charge from Sydney was a good price.

And I would rather go to Tassie any day than Thailand at any price
