Hey tassupervee.. where are you in the Huon? My wife is from glen Huon and we've got a shack at Cradoc. the Mother in law and all her relo's are scattered all over the huon. We'll be moving back for good one day, you'll see me crusing up the grove straight in the notch.

Heya Softie.
Just cruise up the Huon Hwy, past the Grove shop towards Hobart about 800 meters up the hill and there is the Sleeping Beauty lookout on the left. Thats my driveway in there.

Always welcome!
