Searoad to Tasmania
Spirts I and II visited Hobart for refitting after the Tasmanian government had bought them,
and for a short period, the ships were open for public inspection.

Now if only they could get that many people to travel on it as there is to inspect it they mightn't be in so much trouble. I believe they're stopping the service Aug-Sept?

Or are you sure they're not queuing up for the German sausage stand??

Hi David, you're right about the Spirit's dwindling popularity. Cheap airline fares and high petrol prices make the searoad less attractive.

Ahhh, those German sausages, why did you have to set my mouth a'watering!
