Hi,
Hope eveyone has a safe & happy Xmas !
I'm heading off to Tasmania on Boxing day via the "Spirit of Tasmania", I remember reading somewhere that you were not allowed to take Gas Bottles on the ship.
Does anyone know anything about this ?
Thanks
Phil P

G'day Phil
There are no worries about taking gas bottles on the boat, if they are not attached to a caravan or camper trailer they place them on a special trailer and you just have collect them when get here. Just make sure you tell them you have gas bottles when they ask, cause I think they can fine you if they fined the gas bottle during a randon search. Have a great christmas and a good time down here.

Oh yeah, you have gas in your bottles.

Must have changed the Regs - we were on the boat Jan/Feb with 2 small bottles in back of waggon. They just checked the expirery dates.
Hope you have a cabin - we went over at night sitting up - it would have to be the worst night I can remember - we upgradded to a cabin fot the return trip.Subaru Forester

I also think it depends on who's checking. The last time I went across was in october this year.

Thank for the info. I'm in a cabin, so hopefully will be able to get some sleep.

G'day Phil
Hope you enjoy your spell in Tass , we are planning same trip late Feb, was told about the gas bottles also all diesel containers have to be emptied . all this info is on your ticket but a lot of people won't read the fine print , probably would have missed it myself except met some helpful people from a caravan club at Binningup caravan
park a few weeks ago who told me of this
We are going on the daylight trip , 9 AM till 7 PM , something different .
