Discover Mole Creek

Mole Creek offers a range of ways to shape your stay: Tasmanian animals are the focus at Trowunna Wildlife Sanctuary, caves and walking trails are nearby, and a market is held once a month. As you plan your trip, consider what interests you most: a guided tour with wildlife encounters, nature experiences in the karst landscape, or an insight into local culture. This can help you decide whether Mole Creek suits the kind of holiday you have in mind.

Experience Tasmanian wildlife

Trowunna Wildlife Sanctuary in Mole Creek is open daily from 9 am to 5 pm. During guided tours, visitors can interact with a Tasmanian devil and a wombat, and watch a social feeding of Tasmanian devils. These activities offer different kinds of encounters: you might be interested in interacting with the animals, or in observing Tasmanian devil behaviour during feeding. For planning purposes, it helps to treat these as a separate activity and keep the Sanctuary’s daily opening hours in mind. This is especially useful when a travel group has different interests, as you can discuss in advance which kind of wildlife experience sounds most appealing to everyone.

Caves and trails nearby

Mole Creek Karst National Park is located near Mole Creek. From the B12 via Mole Creek, signed turn-offs lead to Marakoopa Cave in Mayberry and King Solomons Cave in Liena. The names and locations offer a clear point of reference for planning your trip: if caves are one of your priorities, you can distinguish between the two destinations rather than treating them as a single place. There are also several walking trails nearby, including the scenic Westmorland Falls trail and Alum Cliffs. If you would like to include walks alongside caves in your plans, you can consider these walking destinations as a separate interest.

Markets and stories about the Tasmanian tiger

The Mole Creek Memorial Hall Markets are held on the second Saturday of every month from 9 am to 1 pm at 2 Caveside Rd in Mole Creek. If you would like to visit the market, this recurring date is a useful reference point when planning your month. Unlike the Sanctuary’s daily opening hours, the market takes place on a specific Saturday, so plan your trip around the date if it is important to you. The Tassie Tiger Bar also offers a cultural touchpoint: it features artworks, news articles, artefacts and stories about the Tasmanian tiger. It is also home to a Tasmanian tiger described as the world’s largest. The different exhibits offer points of interest for anyone interested in this animal—from stories and articles to artworks and artefacts.
