Title: National Automobile Museum of Tasmania, Launceston.
Post by: dnb on March 16, 2014, 06:12:02 PM
I rang National Automobile museum to find out opening times over Easter and they are open every day of the year except Christmas day.
While talking to Phil at the museum, he said that they are able to offer car clubs a "Car Park Special."
If a group of cars arrive, pay and enter together, entry cost is $7.50, normal price $12.75, a saving of $5.25 each.
The Museum needs about a weeks notice, with approximate numbers, for car-park bookings.
Jackie and I are going over on Wednesday 16th night sailing and will visit the museum on the way to Hobart on the 17th.   
If anyone is interested in forming a group for Thursday 17th April, I am happy to take details and arrange booking. Launceston is about 100 klms from Davenport and about 200 klms from Hobart. Phil assures Museum is walking distance  to city center for anyone not wanting to go to museum. 
Cheers, Darcy

Not even a ten minute walk away. You've got Launceston's City Park directly across the road from the Automobile Museum too - complete with an actual monkey troop.  :)

Cheers,

Josh.

Hi Darcy,
The ACT Club (6 cars & 10 people) already have a visit scheduled to this museum on Thursday 17th at about 10am, after getting off the boat & travelling to Launceston for breakfast at the "Stillwater Cafe".

Should we piggyback onto your visit, or would you prefer if I contacted the museum separately?

After visiting the museum, we're planning a lunch stop possibly at Oatlands, before continuing on to Hobart.

Cheers,
Graham

Hi Graham, I spoke to Phil this morning and he has reserved Thursday 17/04/14 at 10.00 AM for FE/FC Holden Club members. So far there are 7 cars and 12 people with Jackie and myself, any other members who wish to attend don't need to book, just to arrive and enter all together. Entry is $7.50
Any inquiries you can call Phil on 03 6334 8888

The museum has different themes during the year and the theme for Apr - June is British Sporting Heritage.
Cheers, Darcy

I would be MAF (and a few mates who will be attending the Street Rod Nats), will catch you at the nats and get something organised.  Hotlips might be another taker as she is sailing on Monday nite as well.

Cheers,
Graeme
