Where to buy the Hilleberg tent in Melbourne?

[thisdongdong]

Hi everyone,

I hope you are all doing good here. The easter break is just around the corner.
We are planning to have an overnight hiking in Wilsonprom. We are seeking a tent can fit 3 of us. (2 adults and 1 child)
I am thinking to buy a tent which is Hilleberg Nallo 3 GT after I read many threads from the forum.

I can't find any shops in Melbourne selling this product. I have found MountainAdventureCentre is selling this one but it is in Sydney.

Can any one kindly tell me if I can buy this tent in a shop in Melbourne?

Thanks heaps!

John

Pretty sure you won't find one in a shop in Melbourne. There is a bloke in tassie on gumtree who is competetive otherwise a shop in Jyndabyne or direct from Hilleberg in usa. Hard to get a pre purchase look unless you find someone who has one ( And plenty on this site do I think).

That's a pretty high end 4 seasons tent. Sure you want that for Australian autumn? Planning to snow camp also? I think there are tents that have better ventilation which would suit our warmer days better. It's also pretty heavy, built for really extreme conditions. A bit more than what most of us need and want to carry.

My last Hilleberg, purchased from the U.S. site last year, but shipped from somewhere else, arrived within 3-4 days. My first Hilleberg, purchased some 5 yrs ago, and the same way , was bought on a Thursday evening, and arrived the following Monday!

I have a Nallo 3GT, and a 2GT...the 3 would comfortably fit 2 adults and a child of 12 or less. The tent is fine in high wind, and snow, but the foot end does tend to collapse in heavier snowfalls (>10cm).

It also has a very long footprint, which may be relevant.

Great tent but I echo what the others have said, It's a tent for ski-touring and snow camping

I thought Mountain adventure Centre was in jindi. I bought a hille from them and they were excellent. Tent arrived in two days and I've heard they do work with hilleberg if there is a warranty issue at times taking parts from another tent they have in stock to get you going. That's why I got mine from them. I don't know that the bloke from tassie does that but he's meant to be good to deal with as well.
