2021 Rally
** Rally Cancelled **
As at 16th August, 2021, Tasmania’s COVID restrictions classify ACT, NSW and Victoria as areas of High Risk and prohibit people from these States travelling to Tasmania. As a result, the executive of the Register and the 2021 Rally Organisers have therefore made the regrettable decision to cancel the 2021 Oakland Register Rally to Deloraine.
More notes here.
Deloraine, TAS, October 1 - 4, 2021.
Members & Guests,
The Oakland Car Register Australia (OCRA) Rally for 2021 will be based in Deloraine, located in the north central area of Tasmania. The Rally will commence on the morning of Friday the 1st of October. Itinerary and Registration forms can be downloaded from the bottom of this page.
The final activity for the Rally will be afternoon tea on Monday the 4th of October 2021.
For members travelling from the mainland, the group will be sailing from Melbourne on the Spirit of Tasmania on Thursday evening the 30th September arriving in Devonport on the morning of Friday the 1st October. At the conclusion of the Rally, participants may choose to sail from Devonport to return to Melbourne on the evening of Monday the 4th October.
Members might wish to take the opportunity to extend their stay by sailing to Tasmania earlier and/or return to the mainland at a later date. Having made enquiries with TT Line there is no advantage in making a group booking for the Rally, therefore members are to book their own passage and on board accommodation to suit their individual needs.
We understand that some participants will fly to Tasmania and hire vehicles to participate in the rally. The airports closest to Deloraine which have flights from the mainland are Launceston, Devonport and Wynyard. Hire cars are available at each of these airports.
Note: the Rally is being held during school holidays, so please book your travel early. Bookings with TT Line are now open for October 2021 and can be made via their website.
We’re investigating a number of suitable options in the Port Melbourne area to assemble in the late afternoon prior to boarding. The location should provide adequate parking, toilet facilities, refreshments and fuel. We can then proceed as a group to the boarding location.
On disembarking at Devonport, we will group together and travel the short distance to our breakfast venue where we will meet up with our Tasmanian members, and members who have travelled across earlier. Rally packs will also be distributed on arrival.
The accommodation for the Rally will be a mixture of motel, hotel, cabins and B&Bs in Deloraine. The Mountain View Country Inn, Deloraine Hotel, and Empire Hotel prices below include a discount for Oakland Register members. Register members are asked to make their own accommodation arrangements. Only limited off street parking is available at the hotels.
Regular updates will be provided here, emailed to members and in the Newsletter.
For information about the 2021 Rally, email Jim and Robyn at jim.irvine1@bigpond.com. Robyn and I are looking forward to catching up with our Oakland friends and hope you’re able to join us in Deloraine in October 2021.
Regards,
Jim and Robyn
