The ferry is booked! The big day is 14 September - that's the night we travel to Tassie! We'll be in our new home on the afternoon of the 15th. Whooppee! And just in time to photograph the Tall Ships (http://www.themercury.com.au/article/2013/07/20/383849_tasmania-news.html)!

We will be hiring a campervan/motorhome - we hope to get one on the return system where it is $5 a day, but realistically there might not be one so making a tentative booking - and the 3 girl cats will travel in that. I'll be driving our van with the 2 boy cats and a box trailer behind.

Day 1 - 10/09 - Terranora to#near Port Macquarie
Day 2 - 11/09 - To Mittagong #
Day 3 - 12/09 - to Wodonga
Day 4#- 13/09 - to##Melbourne (605kms) check in at#caravan park for a cabin,#return campervan, spend night of 13th in compact cabin
Day 5 - 14/09 - Melbourne, late checkout, lazy day, do washing, tidy van, go to ferry 3.45, overnight on ferry
Day 6 - 15/09 - Alight from ferry then drive down

I'm getting very excited!

We have a very big house to pack up here, and we thought it would not be kind to the cats either, especially our very short haired one, to bring them from a long hot summer here to a Tassie winter. This way they'll have time to grow in thick coats next winter. I can't wait, I love winter!
