A lap of Australia is a long way!! A lap of Australia is a big trip! I live in the South West corner....interesting thought though!!

Dear everyone, thanks for your thoughts and encouragement. One way or another we WILL be looping...initially just part of it...but hope to complete the Loop over a 2 or 3 year time period. We have nothing like your USA "Great Loop" here in Australia. We do have lot's of wonderful boating...

Any possibilities out there? Hi Keen to hear from anyone with ideas on house/boat swapping. Or... just willing to hire their boat. Thanks everyone David.

Hi Bruce, A friend of mine back in the 1970's had a Lotus Europa with that drivetrain. It was terrific. Also worked with a guy who had a R8 Gordini, also a great car. See photo of my Tiger with a Renault Alpinne A110...I think ...at Philip Island. Cheers David

Hi all, My wife and I intend to commence a Great Loop adventure this year. It has been suggested to me that I try to private hire a suitable vessel instead of my original idea of purchasing a vessel. We live in Port Geographe, Busselton West Australia. I mention that because we will be away...

Many many years ago....I had to work in IBM's Sydney, (NSW, Australia) computer room. Getting a pass into that room wasn't easy, even issued with a time expiring(measured in hours) photo id. Once in the room all was well until I read a notice on the Halon fitted Computer room exit door...

Hi Baccus, Yes I'm aware of the lock closures, we will not venture that far in Phase 1. Being Aussies it's easy to get 90 day US visas and slightly harder and more expensive to get > 90 day (B2) visas. We are also grandparents and can't leave the tribe for too long. Our initial planning is to...

Hi Greg, thanks for your thoughts. It is a possibility to go by RV and tow a trailer boat.... I've been looking at that. Prefer a Trawler though!! Cheers David.

Hi Andy, thanks for your idea. We have thought about a private hire and I've posted on other "Great Loop" forums to gauge interest and cost. Nothing much came about though. Previously on our other extended US and European trips it has proved most economic to buy right, use and improve and then...

Hi from Busselton, West Australia. We are a couple of retired Aussies hoping to see some of the Great Loop commencing May 2020 somewhere on the East Coast. We have had a lot of wonderful visitis to the US and this time I've convinced my wife that seeing more via the "Great Loop" will be an...
