About to arrive Melbourne, need Cara Park whilst awaiting Tassie Ferry. Any suggestions, within an hour of terminal.

Tell them you are going on the ferry when you book and they have special sections for ferry travellers. ie drive though sites so that there is no hooking up in the early hours.

Book early as there are not that many of them. It is a nice park as well.

We are there now waiting for tonights crossing. Musn't be many going. We are the only van in the storage area. There were a few vacant drive thu sites last night.
BTW some big event at Station Pier today so parking in area will probably be an issue. S of T sent us a text last night with advice
C U over there.

Now at Gowrie Park, Tas. We were the only van from Ashley Gardens but used the GPS to find our way to the Spirit. It was busy but traffic OK. Quite a wait to board. The crossing was smooth and quarantine took about half an hour.

Hi Rod, please to hear you had a good crossing. We had a very smooth (day) crossing on the way over, and a rock and roll night on the way back come April, but no problems. I take it Gowrie Park is still free and as it was before? The CP owners who caused to fuss and were going to manage it were awaiting the result of the Enquiry before that was a goer or not, and i haven't heard back from them so presume all is still OK.

There still is a free one at Gowrie Park but we chose to stay at the paid one, Gowrie Park Widerness Villiage, until we sort ourselves out. It has had work done on it with new shower block etc. A local vanner here said the "discussions" re the free camp were still on going.
