Just paid for our Tassie trip. Leave from Melbourne on the 15th November and don't come back till the 27th February. Boy it's going to be a good Christmas this year for sure. Ham sangas and bubbly beside a river somewhere, nothing nicer.

These are Myrtles stickers, some you have seen, some are new and the Happy Wanderer one yet to put up, probably above the front windscreen. Got the turtle and Happy Wanderer stickers from CafePress which is an american company. Very reasonable prices.
