Well, just had the bubble burst. Thought we might take a few weeks in Tassie in February 2010. Did the usual web searches and found that to take the tug and tow on the boat from Melbourne would cost 6 times the cost of a single car yet it would only occupy the space of two and half standard cars. No wonder Tas...
