Trip Dates: Mid-February 2027 – Early April 2027
Meeting point: To be Advised
Expressions of Interest:
A tour of Tasmania is currently being planned.
This will encompass many of the well-known points of interest on the island plus some of the lesser well-known ones.
While details and firm dates have not yet been decided, a rough plan is to leave Geelong in Mid-February and return in Early April. Participants are able to join after the start of the trip and leave prior to the planned end of the trip.
Early enquiries indicate that the ferry bookings may need to be made in early November.
Certain aspects of the trip have been decided with a number of 4WD tracks and remote campgrounds being identified as must visit locations. Due to the nature of these tracks and campground restrictions this trip is not suitable for trailers or caravans.
The trip will be limited to 6 vehicles.
To register an expression of interest please RSVP.
