Possum Shed - Westerway

A great spot overlooking the river. Second visit and haven't spotted a platypus yet, but still a great cafe.

I took my new step daughter’s Chinese parents to Russell Falls National Park last weekend and stopped into the Possum Shed at Westerway after picking the berries at the nearby raspberry farm. At about 2.00pm in the afternoon I walked up to the counter and was told the kitchen was closed and that there were limited options leftover to eat. I asked what they were and was told by the older woman there wasn’t anything we would like. I said we might as well leave then, to which the response was .. good. At that point I let it be known that I would be contacting tourism tasmania regarding the racially provocative smart arse attitude. We all left .. fortunately my Chinese guests coukd not speak English nor understand what had just played out. We went down the road to Salmon Ponds and were treated like royalty. The Possum Shed management needs to wake up to itself .. just disgusting.

What a little gem of a cafe tucked off the side of the road. Great food and a fantastic selection of teas and coffees. Recommend the scones.

Lovely spot by the river for coffee and cake. Nice outdoor areas to sit and try to spot platypus. Also a few local goods to purchase if you want to pick up supplies. Great food and service

Loved this little cafe. Delicious homely food, and great coffee. Love supporting local small businesses. Friendly staff too.
