Hi all,
I am an italian windsurfer planning to go to a trip with my boyfriend to Melbourne, Tasmania & West Oz this winter.We have already been to West oz and we are looking for other location info.
In december (from 14 to 21) in Tasmania NW (Marrawah) we can use a 3,2 wetsuit? Is easy to find a cheap place for accomodation in Marrawah or it is better camping? We will arrive at Launceston airport, does anyone can suggest where to rent a cheap van or a station wagon with roof racks?
We will spend a day in Melbourne? If windy where we can windsurf (better waveriding) near Melbourne?
Thanks to all for any helpuful info.
Ciao
Silvia & Francesco

yes and hello from all the two headed ones here in tassie. thanks tony, and what are you doing awake and on the computer at 5.00 in the morning when the cheese and kisses is away, unless you're planning on a long drive to a particular sandy point?
water temp at marrawah at that time of year is likely to be fairly chilly, and most would use a 4.3, but if you are used to colder climes and it's a warmer day then you might be allright. also depends how much time you spend actually in the water! (must get my gybes happening!) not sure on the accom. scene there, but the camping is great, right on the action. you should be able to rent a cheap auto somewhere in launnie, check out yellow pages in phonebook (or internet) for places like lo-cost auto rent, rent-a-bomb, rent-a-bug etc. you'll enjoy tassies pristine unpolluted air and water, especially if you sail in melbourne before coming over. (sorry tony, couldn't resist!)
anyway it's my b'day today, so i'm off to the north coast via the east coast, and will hopefully get a nice pressie from huey. easty

She 's in venice tonight or was that last night.

Bologna is that as in Spagetti Bologna-ese.

If you are around at christmas, look us up. we will be doing a bit of gear hire around Torquay and then running a Clinic/ holiday/fun
week from 26th-30th dec at Sandy point, the other side of Melbourne.

Av-er-ar-der-chi
