Trailer Sailing Cruising Australia

[Grith]

Just to let lurkers and contributors here know that the Facebook page I created several years ago for those using trailer sailers as alternatives to cruising yachts has now become very active with nearly 4000 participants and daily posts, comments and updates.
Trailer Sailing Cruising Australia is focussed on precisely its name and precludes for sale adverts wishing to concentrate on trips, modifications, destinations and general trailerable yacht conversations and not become just yet another selling forum.
Personally I have finally had the Imexus 28 out again for a short three day cruise in company with the Trailer Sailer Association of South Australia as they conveniently started their latest short cruise from my retirement home's location in Wellington East.
Since purchasing again here last year our yacht has sat neglected on its trailer as we first completed a three month already booked camper tour of Tasmania ( too expensive to take the yacht on the ferry ) and then have been stuck extensively renovating our new "forever" waterfront home.
We are finally about to move in and just awaiting kitchen and laundry bench tops to complete everything but landscaping/gardens.
 Next planned cruise is for about 2 months on the Gippsland Lakes and surrounds in Victoria as our 3 month Kimberley's adventure plan has been delayed a year until 2026 as we have found a couple of other yachts with similar itinerary going then and plan to join up.
Picture 2 Was a TSASA members very clever bank boarding plank idea.
Picture 3 and 4 our new water front home with 50 metres of waterfrontage and our own boat ramp, jetty and pontoon. Surprisingly cheap by expensive Australian standards due to its a bit unknown and quirky location.
Trailer sailer owners heaven!

It's nice to see you back. My friend who lives outside of Sydney has often talked about a favorite visit place in Tasmania, even sending me some photos of Port Davey. He would like it to be his retreat, but like me, at our age our minds are fine for wandering but our bodies want to stay near our physicians.

The first two photos remind me of cruising Holland canals and lakes. The mooring can be similar with water to soil, but there can be spots with bollards. Many boats carry large corkscrew mooring tools which get screwed into the ground to take mooring lines. The biggest difference is that inshore of the mooring area is always a dike topped with a bicycle or auto path.
There is no question that Holland has no such thing as out back. One is always only a few hours away from a pub or dunny.
Your timing is also good as Thursday is my Vegemite breakfast morn.
