Trike Hike - reopening November 2010

Book Now

After a great summer the trikes have slipped into maintenance mode and will be given a rest until later in the year. Bookings for these speedy units will recommence when the Hub shopfront reopens in November.

The trikes deliver a three-wheeled freedom not found on the road and a trip out to the Junee Cave is a must once summer arrives. Make sure you book early in November.

Tracking the Tassie Tiger

Book Now

Let us show you where the last Tassie Tiger was found! We'll pick you up from Hobart, travel through the picturesque Derwent Valley and then plunge deep into the forest to discover Churchill's Hut - the home of Elias Churchill, the trapper responsible for the capture of the last known thylacine. One for the pampered: a sumptuous lunch served on white tablecloth on the banks of the Styx River. An experience to remember!
