Local Attractions

Alum Cliffs

Known as Tulunpunga … a sacred Aboriginal celebration place … just a short scenic walk to a forest lookout perched high above the Mersey River, as it flows beneath the Alum cliffs. The Alum Cliffs are within the Alum Cliffs State Reserve and form a part of the Gog Range.

Cradle Mountain

Only 90 minutes drive to one of Tasmania’s ultimate destinations famous for its awe inspiring beauty. Explore the mountain lakes & craggy peaks of the wilderness as you drive on up to the national park from Mole Creek. Tasmania’s most recognisable landmark provides for a dynamic day out in the most spectacular landscape you are ever likely to see.

Devils Gullet

Take the short walk up a gentle slope to a cliff top lookout for breathtaking 180 degree views of the Fisher River Valley.

Liffey Falls

Liffey Falls is an accessible and spectacular series of waterfalls nestled in the Great Western Tiers.

Meander Falls

A full day’s walk that gets you away from the more popular areas and into the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area.

Mole Creek Caves

The Marakoopa and King Solomon’s caves are two spectacular limestone caves housing some of the most intricate and fabulous cave formations you will see. There are glow worms and lavish decorations. Their beauty and easy accessibility make visiting these caves an absolute must.

Pine Lake Walk

The Pine Lake walk offers a rare opportunity to get close to one of Tasmania’s rarest trees without having to go on an extended bushwalk. The pencil pine is an ancient species that evolved before flowering plants and which is only found in the Tasmanian highlands. Many of the Tasmanian conifers are unique to Tasmania. The pencil pine (Athrotaxis cupressoides), is generally restricted to sub-alpine areas above 800 m. Like its relative, the King Billy pine, it can reach ages greater than 1200 years. Pencil pines are often seen around the shores of highland lakes and tarns, creating the unique ambience of these beautiful areas of Tasmania.

Wychwood Garden & Nursery

Discover the imaginative, inspiring one-hectare garden. Huge borders filled with unusual perennials, grasses and shrubs. Small orchard of heritage fruit trees, productive potager, trout-filled creek, birch copses, roses, espaliered apples. Magnificent autumn colour in April. Grass labyrinth, specialist nursery and garden shop/gallery.

Trowunna Wildlife Park

Renowned for its approach to wildlife education, Trowunna wildlife has starred in many documentaries. The park also is home to the Devil education and research centre.

Walls of Jerusalem National Park

Regarded by many visitors to the wilderness areas as the jewel in the crown of Tasmania’s national parks. Although relatively small the park is exceptionally beautiful, particularly during summer with a mass of wildflowers in full bloom. Spectacular mountain peaks & an alpine plateau of tarns & lakes, a pristine wilderness area which can only be explored on foot.

Tasmazia and the Village of Lower Crackpot

Along the way, after you join the Moina-Sheffield road, you will come across a turnoff to the quirkily-named Promised Land – home to the even quirkier Village of Lower Crackpot and Tasmazia. This wonderful family attraction features no less than 8 mazes, a whimsical model village built to 1/5th scale, the Honey Boutique, the Pancake Parlour, a gift shop and a lavendar farm, all featuring the wonderful backdrop of majestic Mount Roland.
