Ronnie,
Good stuff mate, enjoy ya self, I reckon you should head down to the southern most point of Tassie, before you drive onto the SOT, and make sure you get to the top of the cape, just to say you did it.
I'm coming over in November for about a week with the wife and
young bloke, mainly the south east coast, B&B type accom mostly, should be great.

Browny,
If you come to the West Coast you will have to look me up at Rosebery, perhaps I could go south after we get
home, just as
well we are going now if Johnny Howard gets his way we all will have to work for 6yrs.to get 12 weeks leave.
Cheers Ronnie

Don't overheat on the cape in winter.
Might get to 25 deg plus, and a cool 15 at night :-)
Just got back from central Qld where we had a hoar frost one morning with about -7 deg, so it could be cool on the way through.
Don't let these Victorians put you off.
Once you get to the Qld border, you are almost a third of the way there.
It's all down
hill from the border.
Remember going to Albury/Wadonga for a job (about 1500k for me) and those Victorians were complaining about travelling from
Melbourne!
Have a good trip. We enjoyed ours up there a few years ago now.
