Your planned Tassie adventures sound interesting, and I look forward to the trip report.
On a side note, I'd also love to hear about some of your trips to the Grampians. I'm going there next weekend with a mate to traverse as much as we can of the Serra Range from Rosea-> Dalton North-> South-> Middleton and as far as we can get along in 2 days before dropping down to the Ingleton Track and heading back to Borough Huts. We're planning on this being a prelude to an almost complete traverse, and I have already dumped water near several peaks over the past few months.
Sorry to highjack the thread

I noticed that Drop currently have it available for US $119 including freight for the next couple of days. https://drop.com/buy/klymit-lwd-packraft but also at a couple of AU retailers but more expensive. I have found mine quite useful for crossing coastal inlets and exploring a few waterways.

As to carry it and use it down New River (at least past the log jams)...I don't know...I have to spend a bit of time with full pack on it and see...Thank you for the link. Might quickly use the offer.

If only your 50th was a couple of years away. I can't see the Lake Rhona region being open to visitors until the summer of 2020/21 at the absolute earliest.
