By the way I hope you like sailing on an overload boat with passengers, have fun trying to find a decent table and seats, a cabin was my salvation.
Generally normal cars aren’t a problem getting a spot.but caravans and overheight can be up to 4 months.Prices are right up there too.but because of the number of bookings I can’t see prices easing.Last time I travelled January ‘22.I did a day trip return,didn’t have any problems finding a seating in a quiet spot

Been on the ferry quite a few times over the years but my comment was for early this year, it was the worst I've ever seen, and bookings were horrendous.
I have never taken my caravan over to Tassie.

I’ve previously done it return with a loaded car trailer and Fairlane tow car - that was nothing too difficult. Just the ute on Monday night, empty tray; last call if anyone wants a pallet or panels bringing to the mainland.

I’ve now solved this myself, but it deserves mention for “life under a rock” reasons.

Looking at the publicly viewable Faceache page for NSW police. With reports of people missing, instead of “likes” - half the posts in response seemed to have an emoticon of a yellow smiley that’s been punched in the mouth, dribbling blood. This unexplained violent imagery puzzled me; wondered if it was relatives of the missing, warning other posters to MYOB.

After several months I discovered via Google, it was supposed to be a yellow smiley hugging a red heart.
