Ok so the DownUnderGround is coming up in Tasmania, Launceston, Bridport on the 19th February
The bmx games are scheduled for the weekend after (hope this time it works) in Canberra
So here is the plan
Im going to flying into Launceston on the Friday morning 18th February hitting the comp and hanging in Tasmania for a few days. Im going to catch the ferry from Tasmania to Melbourne, more than likely on the Tuesday 22nd February. The plan is to stay in Melbourne for a day or two and then head to Canberra for the Friday 25th February. Mr Mike Brandt has also mentioned that this is a somewhat similar plan to what he was also thinking. Although the 22nd is a special day for him, something about his 21st bday.

Any way,
Anyone in Melbourne catching the ferry back from DUG?

Anyone driving to the bmx games from Melbourne to Canberra? (will share the petrol cost but possibly only one way, still not sure)

Anyone have a place to stay in Melbourne for a day or two?

Anyone keen to share accommodation in Canberra?

Anyone keen for some added interest on this trip and or suggestions,
Hire car road trip from melbs to Canberra???

Consider me a maybe for everything haha!

I'm not sure when I start uni again - thats why I'm unsure. If I can get away from uni, I'd probably drive up to Canberra. Thats a maybe again though, I fucked up my engine a few days ago, so I need to sort that out. You could also possibly stay with me, depends what my new housemates are like.

I'll get back to you. Definately keen, just depends how all the mentioned problems go.

Booked my ticket to Tassy too. I get in on Friday evening.

Not sure how I'm getting out yet. Don't fancy another boat trip so I'll probably fly. . .

Trip update

Looking into the ferry deal it seems that there is no point paying $150 for an overnight ferry trip. Not much to see. Would be better during the day. So ill be getting on a plane to Melbourne from Launceston probable on the Tuesday 22nd march at about $60
Looking at hiring a wicked camper van and driving from Melbourne to Canberra for the bmx games 26th and 27th Feb. And then onto Sydney.
Mr Chamberlain has also expressed interest in this idea and so has mike brandt.
camper hire is about $450 and fuel could be about $200.

Any more wanna get it sorted.
