Bulletin # 2 It is time to start planning your trip to Tasmania for the 2018 National Meeting. The Cradle Coast( North West) of Tasmania offers many picturesque day drives from the major centres of Devonport, Ulverstone, Penguin and Burnie. So as part of your planning for next year, think about staying a few days before or after the National Meeting weekend and enjoy this wonderful part of Tasmania that we call home. Enjoy a MG drive on some great driving roads, experience Paradise, that’ s a little place up the road from NoWhere Else. And as if that isn’ t enough you could always drop into Lower Crackpot at the Promised Land. For real, look it up!! There are links on our website to websites that promote the appealing attractions of the Cradle Coast region. Spirit of Tasmania For most of our mainland visitors( yes that is what we call you) there is only one way to get your car to Tasmania, and that is sailing on the Spirit of Tasmania.
