I am booked and paid for Turismo.  Just started to work out my accommodation now. 
Booked one of the Queechy cottages in St Helens, got to work out Hobart and Devonport yet.

Cheers  Jen

Hi Jen - Wow fantastic.  More OzMo girls on Turismo  . This is going to be fun.  Yes Bazz I was sortof hoping to get a bed at your place, please  .  Will help with keeping costs down.

Jen. I've had the Devonport Visitor Centre arranging my accom. So far I've done Devonport. It's at the Edgewater Motor Inn $110 for the night.  I haven't booked Hobart yet - still waiting on Yellow Meanie's plans. Visitor Centre suggests Wrest Point, Sandy bay @ $137 per night.  I will probably stay at Wrest Point for the Thursday night as they have a big party night at the end of Turismo with entertainment and awards.  I will be staying in Tassie for a few extra days after Turismo but no plans where I'm going yet.  Love the west coast but haven't been down south of Hobart yet.

just a little warning without sounding paranoid what ever you do try and be of country roads by 7 pm as thats when the wild life comes out to play and its no fun hitting 100 kilo forester kangaroo on a bike , speaking from experience and bloody cows wandering the roads , and little towns like st helens wallabies at that time of the year like nothing better than to feed on our nature strips , also those that finally decide too go on the tourismo pm me for my phone number if you have any bike trouble or want any help with any thing and who likes oyster kill patrichs my wife makes the best youll ever try have fun and stay safe cheers bazz 

Thanks Bazz

I'd like to add that the first time I rode in Tassie I found out that there is a lot of cow manure on the roads outside the numerous dairy farms and it gets very slippery when wet - not nice. Best to aim for the where car tyre treads have already passed over.

As to oysters - I have had some lovely fresh Tassie oysters raw but only on special ocasions as for the most part I'm vegetarian in my eating so I'll have mine with lemon juice please.  My    experiences are now limited to aroma only and watching everyone else enjoy them.

for you heather ill get you some flounder

I still don't know either Heather. The office can be quite, "unpredictable", when letting us know about future plans
I will let you know as soon as I know!

Bazz, Betty and Jukie, I'll definitely have floor space. Or you can kick Matty out of the bed, or just all jump in there with him

thanks Dave i think we can all jump in the same bed with Matty, hehehe

Oo I'm starting to get excited. I've registered, booked accomodation and the Spirit down to Tassie.
Will be staying on afterwards too.   

H, you need to consider the Cygnet Loop and the ride out to the Tahuna Airwalk including Geevestown. Awesome roads.

I wonder if Joe's Garage will still be there ...? Techno ?

Hello all

Yes it is that Jen? how come you gone to Hobart? I have not been in here for months, I not alowed to go on turismo 

EGAS

good to see lots of you coming here at last

where the hell has egas been! Good to hear from you!

Looks like the Tassie girls have been hibernating  . Hello Egas.  Why can't you come on Turismo    Not fair!

And Hello G you've been quiet too.  How much longer are you staying in Tassie after Turismo?  I would have to leave on the Monday night's ferry to get back to work on the Wednesday.  But I also have a couple of free days before Turismo too.  Haven't booked the ferry yet.  I was thinking about looking down Cygnet way. Thanks

I expected no other answer 

H,

I've been a bit tied up.

I'm catching the ferry on the Friday to Tas ( in Launceston on Saturday) and then most likely to return two weeks after that on the Saturday.
