Well tis all in the same general area
The Hellyer river runs into the Arthur
I believe but where we were was off the
Murchison hiway we turned off
Before Hellyer gorge and tis about
15 or so Km of dirt going in you would
Not get a caravan or large motor home
In there a camper van maybe but the
Tracks are quite overgrown in places
A quite narrow with fallen trees to
Negotiate at times but a 2wd would make
It quite easily

Forgot to add we leave the Bee hives out there for around 6 weeks
Till the trees stop flowering --- Leatherwood honey is a Tassie only product

dIng, whenever I get the chance I buy leatherwood honey . The last lot I bought was in Beechworth Vic. , somehow it is very runny ,I have never had it like that. Last year I brought leatherwood honey back from Tassie which was a lot firmer , did someone mixed it up with what ever here on the mainland ? Cheers

It was probably not pure leatherwood maybe diluted with sugar syrup
Tis quite a common trick unfortunately but often used the mongrels
If you can buy candied (solid Leatherwood) cause it goes that way
Naturally and if you warm it gently under 50 degrees it will return
To its natural liquid state but it seems to be in short supply last year
And not much around this year so far but we live in hope
Went for a trip into the Leatherwood Forest
Cause we put our Bees out there every year
And camped out there for a while after setting up
Camp and cutting a bit of fire wood started the
Hard work
Then checked out the river (the Hellyer)
And the Bush around the camp twas quite pretty
Then got to me Bees who were working well
Managed to drink a few wiskys and burn a steak or two was a pleasant weekend
