Great Western Tiers Kooparoona Niara Deloraine, Mole Creek and Beyond
Deloraine and Mole Creek are excellent locations as a base to explore the Great Western Tiers around Lake Rowallan. The Mole Creek area is riddled with limestone caves. The road through Mole Creek is an alternative route to Cradle Mountain and the West Coast. Deloraine is the gateway to Liffey Falls, Meander Falls, Mother Cummings Peak, Higgs Track and Quamby Bluff. Mole Creek provides access to The Walls of Jerusalem National Park, Arm River Track, Lee's Paddocks, Lake McKenzie and Devil's Gullet as well as the Lemonthyme Valley.
The Meander River. Part of the Meander Falls walk.
On the way to Deloraine from Launceston there is a detour to Liffey Falls. The falls can be accessed via Blackwall. Turn off the Bass Highway about 10 kilometres west of Launceston - about a 3/4 hour drive. There is a well appointed reserve. A pretty rainforest drive continues up the Tiers from Liffey and again down into the gorge. The road is very narrow and care needs to be taken. Unfortunately there is considerable logging in the area detracting from its beauty. Most of the forests flanking the Tiers are essentially being clear felled. The falls can also be accessed from Deloraine via the Lake Highway. This is an easier drive. Further up the Lake Hwy is Pine Lake. Only a short drive on a very good road. Well worth the trip.
