Today marks R U OK Day Life is full of highs and lows. Whether it's a friend, family member, or colleague, everyone faces their challenges. Having regular, meaningful conversations builds trust. This makes it easier for those struggling to open up. Have you noticed a change in a colleague recently? A shift in their mood or behaviour? It might be time to start a conversation. Your support can make a difference. Remember, mental illness doesn't discriminate. Be the support your colleague may need, a simple chat could change their life. #RUOKDay

🎉 Celebrating 39 Years of Service! 🎉 Today marks a significant milestone for TT-Line, the operators of Spirit of Tasmania. On this day in 1985, we launched our iconic ferry service across Bass Strait with the Abel Tasman. From our modest beginnings, we have become an essential link between Tasmania and mainland Australia, continually evolving to meet the needs of our passengers. A brief journey through our history: 1985: Operations with Abel Tasman commenced, providing reliable passenger and vehicle transport. 1993: Abel Tasman is replaced by the original Spirit of Tasmania, enhancing service capacity. 2002: Original Spirit of Tasmania is replaced by Spirit of Tasmania I and II, modernising our operations and improving passenger experience. Looking ahead: We are excited for the future with Spirit of Tasmania IV and V due to replace our current fleet and significantly increase our passenger and freight capacity. #TTLine #SpiritofTasmania #Anniversary #MaritimeHistory #Travel
