2023/4 – Family Trip to Tasmania
Over the 2023/4 new year period, I took a trip to Tasmania with my family. I drove my 300TE down to Geelong and sailed on the Sprit of Tasmania, meeting the rest of my family at Launceston Airport.
Over our trip I covered 4344km in the 300TE. Mostly with a family of five and luggage. The roads were great and the car went really well. In fact, it averaged 11l/100km, only one liter more than my wife’s modern car would have, but far more enjoyable to drive.
