Waiting to board.

The Spirit of Tasmania allows passengers, cars, trucks and caravans to cross from Melbourne to Devenport in Tasmania ( The fare is actually subsidized by the Gov - $480 per car per return crossing That leaves $ 800 extra to pay). It is a full day or full night to cross over. The weather can be quite fierce. We were lucky that it was quite calm on our crossing - no need for the sea sickness tabs!.

That's an impressive looking ship, especially the way you've caught it.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

That's a huge boat!! Great pov to convey that!

[Marnie]

Good to hear you had such a smooth crossing. Bass Strait can be real monster, I spent one entire crossing driving the great white truck.

@cruiser Hi Chris - it's off to a good start - checked out the North-West corner today. Interesting. Cheers.

@taffy Thanks Taffy - it is impressive - hard to fit it all in the photo - very professionally organized too - from walk on pedestrians to monster trucks, they handle them all with aplomb. Cheers

@golftragic Haha - don't envy you that! It was fine and very comfortable - the cabins on the new ship are great.
