Wondervan, Rodney, call them what you will, you can't beat a home on wheels

Getting here, getting away and getting around

Getting here:

The Wedding ceremony is going to be held in Low Head and the reception at Sarah's parents farm nearby.

Low head is about 50 mins drive from Launceston and about an hour from Launceston airport.  Launceston airport receives direct flights from Melbourne and Sydney.  Virgin blue, Jet Star and Qantaslink fly to and from Launceston.  

Hobart airport is about 3.5 hours drive away.  Hobart receives direct flights from Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide. Virgin blue, Jet Star, Tiger and Qantaslink fly to and from Hobart. 

I want that flight compares all the airlines to give you the cheapest flight but I'd recommend booking through the specific airline's website to avoid extra fees.

The Spirit of Tasmania ferry sails between Melbourne and Devonport most nights.  A return ticket for 2 adults and a car is a little less than $800, depending on the class of your cabin.  Devonport is about 2 hours drive from Low Head.

Getting around: 

Public transport to Low Head is non existent.  There are the occasional pubic bus to George Town and George Town has a few taxis, however we reckon you should probably hire a car to avoid a lot of faffing and time wasting. 

There is not a lot in the way of decent accommodation close to the farm and as taxis can be unreliable,  we are setting up "Camp City" right near the reception so you only have a short stumble home to your tent or campervan. Why not combine your accommodation and car rental and hire a campervan?
