We just booked for 3 ½ months over there too (first time), beginning of December through to mid March. Cost us $1340 for 2 of us, Patrol & Tvan, with cheapest cabin/night sailing both ways.
When are you going to be over there pearcey? @pearcey

Mate it was a round trip, and again we spent 3 months there, did 8000 yes 8000 ks and only backtrack about 400 ks
$1700 was reasonable at the time . I`ve been over and back ,lost count over the last 45 years, and prices varied heaps, just got to get the specials.

Have done. Well I s'pose no-one can call you mad, dog or an Englishman. Pity we won't get to cross paths over there though.

Just back from 6 hours up the Grampians.
Took a track that had an open gate up around the Chimney Pots. Wow, what a ripper. It's a bit cut up and would need lockers f&r to go the opposite way to what we went. The track was cut up due to rain and very rocky, not crazy hard but very enjoyable. Had some 1st low with rear locker on coming down some sections as it was so rocky and slippy.
Got to the other end ad yep, the gate was locked! But there was a very well worn and built up way around it to the side, looked like it had been locked up for quite a while, but the way around the gate also looked like it had been used for some time.
