The T A L L A R O O K was built in 1946 by the Australian Navy as a fully armed General Purpose Vessel. She was used as a minesweeper well into the post-war years, until her decommission in 1969.

  

She was then purchased by a Tasmanian shipping company to carry out a coastal freight run between Hobart and Melbourne.

 

The present owners bought the boat in 1995 and embarked on a six year multi-million dollar restoration to convert her into a luxury motor sailor.
