Gday Nick

God to see its all up and running, best of luck with the new venture.....don't know when we will be down that way, but it is on the list....the heat up here is really opressive at the moment - the official temps are around 40, but it feels much worse than that. we haven't had much rain for a while, hope it starts again soon.

Cheers Andrew

Ian - try Google maps. They are stunningly fast. And they can give you the best route from your front door to Nick's garage! Beat the socks off NRMA, Sensis etc

Max
ps and all the best Nick - it'll be a while before we get to Tas again but its a great place to settle. Did you come from Kununurra?

I'm an Adelaide boy, but google Maps showed me the way.

Head west from Launceston along the Bass highway (1) and drive though Deloraine and along the Mole Creek Road (B12) to Chudleigh.

Great place Tassie.

Chudleigh,
That's the place with the magical honey place and the salmon farm up the road. Fueled up there nearly 12 months ago, with honey as well. Good luck, lovely atmosphere and a great part of the world.

Just back from Tas after sailing down from Sydney to Hobart and doing a 12 day tour in a campervan. Saw Chudleigh on the map but didn't call in. Maybe next time.
