Yep that's the way. I live in Coburg so to hit the Hume is more easy than to fight my way over to the east and then north .. etc.
if it weren't for the roadworks, I usually get off at Tallarook and across to Yea from there and then up(nicer drive) and sometimes if the light is right, I even detour around Yea and head into the hills at the Ghin Ghin. nice drive, nice area .. good for landscape photography :D

I prefer the cafe just a door or two south/west of the bakery. Bakery is good, but the pies at the cafe are even better! Some of the kids had the pies from the bakery, and were good(compared to most pies) but still a little sloppy in the gravy department. The cafe pies tho were just perfect with great chunks of meat and vegies and a thick stewy consistency .. etc. etc.
