What Luke likes about Possum Shed:
Food, drinks and service were fantastic. Aussie burger and signature possum shed BLT were amazing and the nachos were brilliant and more than 1 person could handle. Highly recommended if in the area! View all feedback.

The Possum Shed is a gem of a local cafe / near Mount Field National Park that if it wasn't for our tour guide, Rosie.
