Kingston's nice.

Channel Highway and down to Smug, I mean Snug and further on to Dover.

Just remember to pack the winter woolies. Always knew it was cold when we woke up to a weather report of "snow to sea level". And that was in December when we lived down there

I have a brother in Hobart and NYE will be spent there but for two or three weeks we will be exploring.

What do you suggest as some interesting not too challenging drives?

exploroz.com.au has some suggestions.

Maybe also there might be an opportunity to catch up with some Aulroians...

Hi Mahn,

Make sure you get in touch when down here. 6229 1102 (W) and 0408 995 635 (M)

Where in Hobart is your Brother? Is he a LR owner too?

It'll be good to meet you, hopefully some day trips out can be organised with a few of us

I priced the fares for a 4x4 and it was about $2000 return for vehicle and two people. Is that about right or am i doing somehting wrong?

You're doing something wrong or looked at a really flash cabin!

It does depend on the cabin and the season. A deluxe cabin during peak will cost $451 each person each way plus the vehicle say $60 each way so $2000 is about right on that basis. but if you travel the next rung down it is $1600.

Thanks for the contact Nos. Justin I'll look you up

My brother works for the CSIRO and lives nearby work although he has just bought a block of dirt with a shed 40 minutes north of Hobart. He drives a Suzuki Jimny that has taken him through a lot of WA when he lived there. The Land Rover Gene passed him by.

Hi Mahn, some of the places we went were, Huon Valley, Dip Falls, The Nut, Styx Forest, St Helens and the Bay of Fires, on your way near St Marys, stop at The Mt Elephant Pancake Barn mmmmmmmmmm.
