Same! Back in year 10 Mirboo North Secondary College decided to have the boys and girls sleep on separate decks on the Spirit. Fortunately for us, Kingston High School had the same idea but placed their girls on our deck :

Had an awesome night :evil3:

This was year 10 at Sale Catholic College. It was a great half a week or so at Tassie!

For those who have't been to Tassie I suggest not going down the middle. Its ok, but a bit boring from a driving POV.

Last weekend we just did abit of the West Coast. AWESOME roads! Think the GOR but through the middle of mountains and along cliff faces. Have you guys seen Targa Tas on TV? A bit like that. I have a photo of one place where I would gaurantee atleast 2 e series people would loose it..LOL

If you look up a map, we went from a place called Strahan to Queenstown. Thats a bit curvey, but from Queenstown to Derwent Bridge (pretty sure it was that) is nuts; not good for passengers..LOL

So if you were serious, then TAS is the place for a cruise, therefore NSW and SA people meet at St.Kilda and go across from there.

Thats very very debateable, have you been to Tassie? Beaches are not as long but they are just as nice, and no one is there!

I voted for Tassy purely because of the scenery and would be great for photos. I go to Tassy annually so if anyone has any questions about the Island just let me know. It great for cruising too very maountainous

Adelaide or NSW's would be good.

Or we could all meet up at Ayre's Rock, cant get much more central than that! Then we can go cruising on the no speed limit roads they have up there....unless its been changed.

Either way taking the old e series to its max is not a good idea on public roads, you would want an airstrip that is flat as a tak.
