David was a great guide. The right mix of good info, helpful and funny. I learnt a lot and had a good time. Right amount of time at each stop. Easy pick up at hotel. Where able to make changes to allow me to stay longer at cradle mountain and travel on from there rather than return to Launceston. Lovely day
