ERRR! Do you mean the biannual \"not the Natmeet\" hosted by the Vic and Tassie members if you do, next year we are all going to New Zealand in Feb so I don't recon we will organise a Meet for Easter 07....but don't let that stop you from coming down anytime... and I will let you know if we organise anything. We don't have a show and shine event just lots of driving and visiting local touristy areas. If we do an Easter07 I think we might base it around Ulverstone and local run each day to keep costs down, you are welcome though to do your own thing. I'm not hiding down here, I just don't want too many people to realise what a fantastic place it is .... Shhhh

my mistake sharyl, but I thought you meant real driving I recon the 5 would drag well, but when I was learning to drive spinning the rear wheels was considered a sign of bad clutch control......the offer of help is always open when you visit our driving paradise

A little off topic but my wife and i are looking to buy in Tassie, although we haven't been there it sure does look fantastic
(also nice cool air good for turbo) combine this with some nice roads....

whats the area ELLENDALE like as we are looking at a house on the Internet in that location is it far from Hobart and are the roads good or more your 4WD country?

any non biased help would be appreciated.

Sorry I'm in the north of the state, Ellendale is about an hour from Hobart and you have the option to get there of driving on back sealed roads or the highway if you are in a hurry, best discribed as hilly farmland and old hop farming area close to a national park. A lovelly spot but to us locals who wants to travel a whole hour to get home :shock: best idea jump on the ferry Friday night, your here at 7.30 on Satuday, Hobart by 10.30, Ellendale 11.15 then overnight Hobart Saturday all day Sunday in the Hobart area to scout out other properties? leave yourself 3hrs to get back to Devonport on the \"Spirit\" Sunday night, arrive Melbourne 7.30 to fight the traffic to work Monday .... Easy and goodluck

sharyl.. Ellendale is between Westerway and the Dunrobbie bridge. If you havn't done the trip do it as soon as you can, you'll love it. Step off from New Norfolk up the B62, morning tea at the Salmon Ponds, then head to Westerway and the C608 to Ellendale then continue across the Derwent and back into Hobart on the northernside of the river. By the way it is a Targa stage, its probably best done in autum with all the coloured leaves blowing everwhere etc. come to think of it let me know and I'll come with you....

thanks guys, my wife was impressed with your \"program\" tassie devil.
very keen to see this part of aus in my 5!
