Transport to start and from end of track

Postby Fozzie67 » Tue 28 Feb, 2017 10:10 pm

So I have a crew doing the OLT in late Sept and I am hoping that their is service that will

1. Pickup all of from the airport
2. Drive us to a hotel close the start of track
3. Pick us all up in the morning & take us to the start of the track
4. Take a bag for each of us - store it
5. Pick us up at St Claire

Does this exist ?... if so can anyone recommend someone for this ?

Also as a sub note - is there a good hotel we can stay at the night before we start that is close to the start of the track .. the idea is to feh a good nights sleep before we crack on

Thoughts peeps?

Cheers
Foz

Plenty of services just like that... though you wont need that morning contract to Ronny Creek/Dove Lk, the local free shuttle operates on a regular basis from the park entrance... and there are airport shuttles/ taxis (to hotels) that are possibly cheaper option?

Try the pdf link on transport this page: http://www.parks.tas.gov.au/index.aspx?base=7827 (which.. isn't working.. but soon should)
