Mole Creek - Fast Facts

Mole Creek (including Mayberry)
Entry point to the Western Tiers and the nearby limestone caves
Mole Creek is a tiny, rather unimportant, little township on the road from Deloraine to Cradle Mountain. Located at the edge of the Great Western Tiers it is 72 km west of Launceston and 271 km northwest of Hobart, via Launceston. The town was named, with little imagination, after a nearby creek which, because the area is predominantly limestone, disappears underground "like a mole".

In recent times the town has become well known for its excellent leatherwood honey, two nearby cave systems and one of Tasmania's best wildlife parks.

Mole Creek¹s most famous son was F C Green, the well-known and widely respected clerk of the Federal House of Representatives from 1937-1955 whose books A Century of Responsible Government 1856-1956 and Servant of the House were widely read and admired.
