2023 Rally
Deloraine, TAS, October 6 - 9, 2023.
Members & Guests,
The 2023 Oakland Register gathering and AGM will take place in Tasmania. Robyn and Jim together with Geoff and Lyn are happy to revive the itinerary that we prepared for the 2020 and 2021 rally. The four day event will begin as we dock in Devonport aboard The Spirit of Tasmania on Friday 6th October 2023, having departed Victoria on the evening of Thursday 5th October 2023. Members already in Tasmania, will greet us upon arrival. The Rally will conclude on the afternoon of Monday 9th October 2023.
The Rally will be based in Deloraine, in North Central Tasmania. Every effort will be made to re book the venues and places of interest that appeared on the original itinerary for the four day period. The Mountain View Motel in Deloraine will once again be our designated base and favoured accommodation site. Although the motel is under new management is happy to consider favourable rates for a group booking.
Changes will be inevitable with some venues and places of interest being unavailable due to prior bookings, new ownership or businesses no longer trading. Every endeavour will be made to substitute similar experiences where possible. Inquiries to date have been favourable with the majority of venues eager to welcome us next year. A 2023 itinerary will be published in the December Newsletter with the necessary modifications. Members will be kept informed of any other changes in subsequent newsletters.
The major change to plans and preparations is the Victorian departure point of The Spirit of Tasmania. It is now located in Geelong. A purpose built port, it does, by all accounts, enable easy access, streamlined boarding and disembarkation and provides more appropriate hospitality for travellers. Interstate and regional participants should experience a pleasant journey to Geelong.
Unfortunately the new facility does not provide secure, long term parking for members who wish to leave their cars and trailers in Victoria for the duration of the rally. Inquiries regarding secure, long term parking have been positive and details will be provided in the December Newsletter.
After a three year pause, we will be very pleased to welcome Oakland friends to the home state of our son and his family who are keen to join us for the long overdue event. We hope that you are able to participate in the 2023 Oakland Rally in Deloraine, Tasmania.
