Where did you go or where do you plan to go? ✈️
1973 Launceston to Melbourne, then on to Perth on the train I think. I was 3 and don't remember much of the trip!
LST _ HBT. With Legacy. We were even invited into the cockpit to watch the pilots at work.
1971 In the back of an RAAF Hercules, Brisbane to Wagga Wagga, joined as an apprentice not quite 16 thought they would give us a thrill.
Besides emigration from Northern Ireland as a baby... My first flight was home to Ireland as as 14 yr old and I loved 💕 it .. kept all the sugar /salt/napkins off the British Airways flight and as an Adult become a Travel Agent ... can’t wait to hit the sky’s again when Tassie opens😅
Melbourne to Perth as a very young child, accompanying my younger twin brothers and parents. My father was taking up a mining job somewhere in WA. Probably about 68/9 years ago! I have no memories of it though.
From New Zealand to Tasmania to live, way back in 1989
Sydney from Port Macquarie to see the Ophthalmologist.
1968 on a DC 8 Melbourne to Launceston with my mother and brother, my came over on ferry.
1970 TAA, LST-MEL in a DC9
To my allotted seat??

Covid-19 Update
23 August 2020
It has been a few challenging months at Drive Park Fly. The Tasmanian Government announcement on border restrictions remaining in place until 1 Dec, has meant a number of flight cancellations from next week onwards.
We want to assure you we remain open for all interstate flights (there are about 10 per week at present). We are open at least 1.5 hours before each flight and until 1 hour or so after arriving flights.
We also staffing the carpark at other times, including when we are performing car wash services for customers whether they are travelling or not. A great option if you want your car cleaned and detailed! Book online today.
If you are travelling interstate the best option is to book online. We can be at the car park for your departure and arrival. You can also just drive in and take a ticket at the entry.
If you are flying with Sharp Airlines to the King or Flinders Islands, then we will be at the car park on demand. Book online, or let us know the day before or so before you are travelling. You are also welcome as always to just turn up and walk to and from the airport.
The overall message is we are here for you when you need us.
Thanks for all the great support you have provided to us over the last 6 months. This means a lot, and has certainly helped us through this difficult time together.

Continuing to recover
Has been great to see a few more of you as you start to travel again.
This week we have daily Monday to Friday flights to Melbourne with Qantas. Interstate border restrictions remain in place, but we are looking forward to the Tasmanian Government announced this Friday 26th June 2020. We have also seen some people travelling to the Flinders and King Island which is great.
We are staffing the car park for the interstate Qantas flights. We also staffing the car park at other times, including when we are performing car wash services for customers even if there are no flights. If you are flying to the Islands, then we will be at the car park on demand - simply book online or give us a call and let us know when you are travelling.
If you are travelling interstate or to the islands the best option is still to book online. If online booking is not your thing, then you can continue to also drive in and take a ticket at the entry.
We look forward to seeing you soon

For the first time in history, the sunrise at Stonehenge will be live-streamed to mark the northern hemisphere's summer solstice. The solstice is on the 21st of June and is the 'longest day' of the year. Here in the southern hemisphere, June 21st is the winter solstice and marks our 'shortest day.'
Usually thousands of people from around the world turn out every year to watch the sunrise and sunset on this significant day at Stonehenge. It should be quite a show!
