Taking a trip to Tasmania on the Spirit of Tasmania

[@frizzy60]

Hi Jonno, great to see you've been getting some quality time with the family during your break. I'm sure your wife and kids really appreciate it

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Yes. I'm going back to work tomorrow after 4 weeks off. Sad for me

[@wayneschenk5512]

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Thanks Wayne. Yes we had a great time.

[@grahamglencorse307]

Gday Johno, It was very kind of you and your family to let us share your trip mate. When the kids are older they will remember Dad’s U Tube movies from Tassie. Thanks to you and travel safe mate.

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Thanks Graham. Ha we all had a great time. It's a pity it was only for four days. It was a little rushed.

Thanks. It was a very short stay but were glad we went across.

[@chuningsong4905]

Hey Johnno, I recently discovered your channel and I'm hooked. We've stayed in the same cottage in Tassie. We came in winter and it was snowing. The forest floor at the back was covered in a layer of snow and it looked magical. It was bloody cold though! Glad you and your family are having a great time there. Thanks for sharing it with us.

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Oh very nice. It was a lovely Christmas there. Very cool for summer.

[@mogensnn7166]

En Joy your Holidays Jonno, gretings from Skandinavia.

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Thanks. I don't get much family time.

[@jonathand1654]

Looks like a great trip

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Thanks Jonathan

[@williammurfin6354]

The boat I travelled over and back on was a bigger an over night trip and I got talking to officer from the ship he said it rocks a bit but only worry when we lay the ropes out down the aisles to hang on to as you walk around. Great trip everyone should do it.

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Thanks William. Yes I really enjoyed the trip. Next time I think we'll travel at night at get a cabin to sleep.

[@CharlieBamborough]

Glad to see you taking a break with the family John. Great video mate

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Thanks Charlie. I really needed it. Back to work Monday so we shall see what comes of the next video.

[@maxherron7896]

Hi Jonno liked your video of our state of Tasmania. Amazingly the round house is less than 3 km from our place we think a special bit of Tassey. I enjoy your trucking videos, this one however was special.

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Oh wow. You live in the Promised Land? Hey whilst I was arriving there, in town there is the oval and they had all these Amish people. I thought it was a dress up festival but I think they all are real. Is this true?

[@davidleane7830]

Great video John. But interesting editing driving up the ramp at devonport then all of sudden your on the boat at Geelong.

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Yes I didn't get much footage at the Geelong end so I started the video at Tasmania

[@BruceShirley]

Good to see you spending quality time with the family .Great scenery hope you all enjoyed your time away Johnno thank you 😊

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

For sure. It was great

[@geertjansen6427]

Hi John nice family you have and a nice video from your country greetings from Holland👌

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Thanks again Geert

[@sixtoes2313]

Very nice John !

[@Tom-kb1jx]

Have a good holiday, don't forget to visit Mount Wellington

[@craigoOZ]

got the name right!

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

I don't remember seeing that name. We went passed Cradle Mountain.

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

I don't remember seeing that mountain around.

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

[@Suzukiweekend]

Good footage and beautiful Tasmania thanks

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Thanks heaps

[@thelifewedo]

Thank you for sharing again. Really enjoy tagging along with you on these adventures. Canadian Hillbilly...on the side

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Thanks for coming along. It's always great to have more Canadians along.

[@bradshields7543]

Hey Jono and family. Went to tassie last November. Absolutely beautiful. Need at least a month to see everything or a lifetime to see it all. Glad you had a great time. I’ll be back

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Thanks Brad. Yes we all have a great time. We only had 4 nights so it was very quick.

[@FrankLowe1949]

Very nice thank you so much ❤🎉🎉

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Anytime. Thanks Frank

[@garrywoods159]

Awesome video Johnno (as usual), I’ve really been loving all theses new KZbinrs with all the amazing drone footage and places that the average Joe has never even heard of let alone seen - a big 👍 to yourself and all the others ie Ken, Molly, Grego, Tez and anyone else I may of forgotten.👍👍 A huge thank you for taking the time and effort to provide us with such great content.

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Thanks Garry. Yes there are getting a few of us don't this which is good. Keeps us all honest to make better and better videos.

[@MetalMania3DTV-TAS-AUS]

Awesome stuff Johnno, my home Cradle Mountain Tasmania 🇦🇺🤝🇦🇺😊👍🍻🍻🍻 Sweet video old mate 😊

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Thanks again. So I take it you recognise where we were?

[@MetalMania3DTV-TAS-AUS]

@RoadTrainAdventures my pleasure Johnno anytime, and yes we did, haven't been there for ages, even though it's just up the road 🤫🍻🇦🇺🤝🇦🇺🙂👍😊

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

At least around there we were on the main highway. From there to Hobart was very hilly and very few overtaking lanes. We were in a hurry.

[@Louie2309]

When I first saw the thumb nail, I thought you were taking a set of doubles to Tasmania.🤣

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

I wish. I have dropped off pipes for Tasmania but we do them at Tasfreight and they take them across.

[@brucewatts4439]

Good on you Bunji, you are full of surprises in my home state, I have family in Burnie and Hobart and have done the crossing many times. thank you for showing the best of Tassie, would love to see you in good old Darwin one day!!! on yer mate!!!

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Thanks Bruce. Who knows what places I'll go to this year. Maybe this will be the year I get to Darwin.

[@tammyintiaras]

Lovely upload. We are really enjoying your channel. Drive safe. Love from Beautiful Ballarat 🙏

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Oh very nice. Thanks Tammy

[@roberthocking9138]

Great video Jonno, we love tassy, so much to see. But they can keep their ferry for mine 🤢. Jump on the metal bird

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Oh I loved it Robert. It was very steady even though the waters got a bit choppy at times. It would have cost more as we would have had to hire a car if we flew.

[@alexheyer5422]

Geez Johnno, you must have a great bucket list for when you get out of the Kenworth permanently. You missed so many other interesting places. This is what i say to my wife when we miss some things..that's for our next trip. But you found some places we have missed so they are on the next trip..Thanks buddy.

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Thanks Alex. We were only there for four days so there wasn't much time to do anything besides do what my wife wanted.

[@karenfrench4094]

Hi John, glad you and your family enjoyed our state. Your day sailings were perfect. We sail regularly to get to the other side. taking our motor home back across the Nullarbor in April. Ithe drone footage was breathtaking across Queenstown. Quite the moonscape 😮 thank you for sharing your family getaway.

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Thanks Karen. I think if we go again we'll travel at night and sleep in a cabin.

[@bobblacker1940]

Really enjoyed Tassi - will be going back again - the climate is so similar to where I live in British Columbia, Canada ..... well done mate!

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Thanks Bob. I would have thought Tasmania would be a lot hotter than Canada.

[@jeffbangkok]

Very much enjoyed. The air here in Bangkok is bad now. Looks like we need to move there.

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

There certainly is a lot of fresh air in Tassy

[@marca.w.7237]

Impressive! Thank you very much for sharing! It's been more than 30 years that I have been there, just for three days in a three weeks "all of Australia" trip. Touching for me: Your way of travelling. My family endet 2019, we have always travelled a lot, it has been the best ten years of my life. Last autumn, a week exploring parts of the UK we've never been to with my daughter (18 than, so with me on the passenger seat often) brought back memories. Anyways, before I become sentimental: Keep it up, save trips! And good holidays often start with a ferry! ;)

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Thanks Marc. Yes holidays are the best and I was really looking forward to the ship. They have 2 new and bigger ships on order. The first will arrive around September they say. I've never been to the UK so I can't say much about that one.

[@marca.w.7237]

@@RoadTrainAdventures I have been with Caro (my daughter) first time ever on a hybride ferry in October, the Diesels only producing energy for all electrical motors. Impressive, so smooth. Don't know if you got instagram, could share a few pics about rips in the UK. You and your family would love it, especially Scotland. I'm german by birth, but my heart is living there... And I have been lucky enough to visit many places of planet earth!

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Yes you could try and share the link here. KZbin may block it but give it a go.

[@andrewtempest1944]

Great video Johno, proper get away from it all. Best wishes from the UK

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Thanks Andrew. It was a great get away

[@gregorymiller7828]

Love this video, thanks, something I can't do but I can see it through your eyes 🤩

Thanks Chris

[@whatyourlifestyle998]

You do work very hard . So I'm glad you enjoyed your family trip. All the best to the new year

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Thanks heaps. It was great. I'm back on the road now. First day back and heading to Perth.

[@MetalMania3DTV-TAS-AUS]

Gee the spirit of Tasmania changed a lot, haven't been on it for near 11 yrs 😮😊

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

They have two new ships being built. The first is expected to be delivered around September. They are way bigger all round so that will be nice.

[@MetalMania3DTV-TAS-AUS]

@RoadTrainAdventures yeah they always had 2, but yes wife loves ships boats, and was saying the same, have a great weekend 🍻🍻🇦🇺🤝🇦🇺🙂👍😊

[@jonathanwang9585]

So that's what the ship looks like

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

For sure

[@elizabethscott7660]

He gets 10/10 for correctly calling it a ship and not a boat, but loses a point for trying to convince us it was a rough crossing😏😆 If the waves aren't breaking over the bow it's a calm sea. The rest of your video was very enjoyable.

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Thanks Elizabeth. I love it when the waves are that big but I'm not sure if everyone else on board would agree.

[@desitruckerpak]

Wonderful

Hi Jono , looks like a great place , a bit like parts of Scotland , did you see any Taz Devils when you were there , back home and on the road again 😊

No I didn't see any Tasmania Devils. In fact I didn't see many dogs either.

[@BigVeegs]

Hi ya Johnno. I know it’s an older post mate but I cross often-ish and night voyage with a cabin is the best way to do it. Trouble is I always take a bottle of whiskey and drink too much 🤣

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Yes I'll definitely do that next time. I just thought I'd like to be awake so I can enjoy the trip. It was a lot of fun.

[@paulbutler7107]

Fantastic video Johnno with great music, you are a pro. The drone work was so steady. You must give Kenny some tips as he's a newbie with his drone😊😊

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Thanks Paul. Ken will be a pro in no time. Just look at his videos.

[@rossgreen8236]

Hi Johno, you really have mastered the drone. Great footage, makes me want ot go back to Tassie, it is a beautiful place of natural scenery, can I have a drone for Chrissy? lol. Actualy I noticed Kenny has one now, you will need to give him all the clues when next you guys cross paths.

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Ken and I talk all the time so he will get good at it very fast.

[@MetalMania3DTV-TAS-AUS]

Love that drone footage, love to know what you use? 😊

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

I use the Mavic 3 Pro from DJI

We have laws saying stay in line of site and don't fly over buildings or 30m away from people. Might be a bit incriminating the fact your braking some laws over here.

[@tonywilkey4369]

Thanks Johno you saved me some money I don't have to go to Tasmania now as you've showed us all the good attractions 😂 Thanks for the post very humble of you showing your private holiday with your family, I bet you had trouble driving that big rig into the parking area on the ship.😂

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Thanks Tony. For me I was more excited about going on the ship than saying Tasmania. The hilly countryside was great too.
