There are optimists and there are misguided - - my question is where will you find the obliging/compliant "wildies" ? - - What species? - - if you cannot find a "flat" how about calling out the TV crews and that grassy knoll near the lake? - - - This could be the TV event of the year - 2 wild leopards or lionesses and one eager Fanie in tiger skin loincloth?

Innuendo? Conversational and written are different standards. I think forums are condisered conversational aren't they?

Apart from the first opener that was the most decent contribution to this thread from someone with experience who actually does something.

What a beautiful spot Tasmania is. On Google Earth it looks really interesting.

Has anyone else sailed there? Any more photo's?

You guys should give points for merit rather than chest thumping.

LyndonJ, many of us (me anyway) are ancient bored farts who would rather be sailing but caught in this economic maliase of foreboding doom, so any levity and dreaming opportunities are necessarily appreciated and welcomed as attractive diversions.

Meanz, sorry my time machine is restricted - (same as yours) to nearly a day ahead of NY.... so I will have to settle for Queensland for the next year or so? at best...... - Then I would like to head for Melanesia as they are still on subsistence economy and a comfortable survival there may be possible....
