On the off chance that there may be someone reading the forum that is starting the walk on the 4th of January 2014 (until the 9th). We are two, and would be interested in coordinating a shuttle bus group from lake St Clair to Cradle Mountain on the morning of the 4th? (otherwise prohibitively expensive)
Otherwise we will be looking to shuttle to and fro Launceston/Devonport. Again sharing this trip would bring the costs down.
We have organized a shuttle with tiger@cradlemountaincoaches.com.au to cradle mountain for the 9th - Costing us $400 for Myself Hubby and our son... We were told it will be less if more people end up booking. We are parking at Lake St Claire - shuttle to cradle mountain that way we can head off once we get back. If you wanted to park at Cradle mountain you could shuttle back with us on the 9th. Perhaps give us some tips for our walk starting on the 10th.
