absolutely Milo, we took our camper across in Jan! well I think it was January, it was when the fires were on in victoria, I went back on a fishing trip just recently as well as couple trips to uluru and darwin, all this year so they sort of run together

anyway you dog will go in pet container and you and pop will go on board with the camper, let them know you have a doggy to arrange a container, when you get to the other side you will be called early to retrieve your doggy before disembarcation

are you going to take the daytrip or overnighter, if you take the overnighter be sure an dget a cabin, it's worth it believe me, we took the ocean view recliners, no sleep whatsoever!

grab a camps australia book and find all the motorhome freindly towns down around Geeveston, absolutely magnificent! free camps everywhere!

Isn't it fairly expensive to take the Camper over DaveO ?? I seem to remember someone saying it was a lot of money.

the camper is cheap, same as car, caravan/car combo expensive, they charge by the foot, motorhome should be reasonable just charge by the initial 6 mtrs then an excess cost per mtr over that, I think I published a special just recently, that will give daytrippers half cost passage which should help!

Milo, the ferry cost can be high with a caravan. We made it cost effective by staying 6 months!

Milo I have a web page for fares etc. However your pooch will have to have had a C5 vaccination, Hydatid tapeworm treated, be registered and you will have to provide the documentation when you pay for his fare, yes they charge $22 for dogs.
