Motorbike with sidecar or trailer   $81 and Shared Berth  $129  each way ($420 - return) so even that is doable for most of us......with a little advanced savings.


Maybe people could start a separate savings account called the Ozstoc Tassie trip and over the 3 years it will grow substantially if they put in 10 bucks a week. 

$10 x 52 weeks = 520
$520 x 3 years = $1560.
$1560 x Tassie = great time!

if you could stretch to $15 a week then it makes a whopping $2300 for the trip.

Cool!

If you come to Tasmania I'll have a distillery in Devonport for you to visit, there'll be another 2 new distilleries in Launceston plus another just 20minutes north of Launceston and the big one at Burnie. No shortage of reasons to explore the north of the state :)

Then there's a trail of distilleries as you work your way down south no matter if you choose the east coast, midlands or west coast routes.

I sold my ride to help fund my distillery project.
Come visit the whisky isle of the south, start saving at the cost of a pack of smokes a week and you'll have yourselves a lifetime of memories down here.

Cheers,

Mech.

Northern Territory for me 13

How do I choose? Tasmania is motorcycling nirvana enough said! FNQ in winter is pretty attractive & for me from SEQ is easy & affordable, NT - Ayers Rock would be good in winter & has an Airport + great resort, what about Darwin I last rode there in August 1981 so a lot would have changed? All that matters is were gonna ride!

[Sabie]

None of the above

NSW would be my vote

[ST2UP]

NSW has 2017...... We best allow the New South Welchmen out for a ride in 2018 


 

[saaz]

We could do the ACT then 

[Biggles]

We could do the ACT then 

But NOT in Winter!!!     

[Sabie]

NSW has 2017...... We best allow the New South Welchmen out for a ride in 2018 


 

sorry didn't know that about 2017, 2018 Victoria then, that's if I'm still here as it's beyond the quacks current life expectancy. But trying hard to prove him wrong

[Sabie]

South Australia Or Victoria, Nothing against Tas I just think the ferry cost will put a lot of people off and therefore the numbers will be small making it no so much worthwhile (Sorry Tas) Mainland Australia will see maximum members attending.

OK I'll shut up now.

[STroppy]

Have to agree Sabie, some of us who were looking at attending the 2016 Ulysses AGM looked at the cost of not only attending the AGM, but adding a week of touring Tassie and the rough cost, including night ferry and shared cabin, was close to $2,000 each, this included pretty much all costs with a generous allowance for accommodation, food, drink, touristy stuff and the return boat crossing with bike and trailer and a shared o'night cabin  . . So we decided to put this money towards driving to the tip of Cape York instead . .  I should add that we all have been to Tassie at least 3 times before

[Barry and Marissa]

I've never ridden in Tassie and have only ever heard good things about it. So I'm keen to go there. Though having said that I'm hoping to get there before 2018 too. So I don't really mind where the 2018 Nat Rally ends up and didn't vote for a state accordingly.

[ST2UP]

Anyone else wish to have a vote, I have changed the poll so you can change your vote based on the information posted above.......will close poll in a few days.
