It is unthinkable that future generations may be denied this pleasure and that an historic icon is lost to the public. Cuppacumbalong was always on the "must visit" list for visitors and I hope it will remain so.

As such it attracted visitors, both from overseas and interstate. It has been sorely missed since it was closed to the general public. The owners should not be able to change the lease for their own gain, not the public good.

We used to visit Tharwa, eat at their cafe, and view (and sometimes buy) the local craft work. It is really important to keep this place in the public domain, and its previous use to display and sell local craft particularly suited the beautiful building.
