Mole Creek

Mole Creek is a picturesque farming area 50 minutes drive west of Launceston. The magnificent Great Western Tiers rises in the background, and the Mole Creek Karst National Park is nearby, including the show caves Marakoopa Cave and King Solomons Cave, which have been popular with tourists for 100 years.

The area is prime habitat for native wildlife including the Tasmanian Devil. Trowunna Wildlife Sanctuary is a popular tourist attraction in the area and is known for Tasmanian Devil conservation and a successful breeding programme.

Mole Creek is well known for its honey and accounts for about 35 percent of Tasmania’s honey production including Leatherwood Honey (a noted monofloral honey) which is unique to Tasmania and sold internationally.

Nestled amongst rolling hills and criss-crossed with crystal clear streams and hidden limestone caves, Mole Creek is the original Tasmania at its best.
