In Mole Creek and its immediate surroundings, wildlife and culture go hand in hand with cave destinations, walking trails and a market held regularly. When planning, it is important to distinguish between daily opening hours, changeable tour and guided-visit programs, and a fixed monthly market day. If you’re looking for hotels in Mole Creek, you can first decide which experience will shape your travel dates. This way, you can plan your trip around the main reason for your visit.
Wildlife and guided tours
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. This offers two types of experiences: direct interaction with animals and observing a feeding session. When planning your day, it’s worth treating the daily opening hours and the guided tour as separate time considerations. Opening hours and programs may change; check both before you arrive.
The Tasmanian tiger in art and stories
The Tassie Tiger Bar features artworks, news articles, artefacts and stories about the Tasmanian tiger. The bar also houses what is described as the world’s largest Tasmanian tiger. Unlike the guided tours at Trowunna Wildlife Sanctuary, which include interactions with a Tasmanian devil and a wombat, as well as watching a social feeding, the bar focuses on depictions and stories about the Tasmanian tiger. This comparison helps you choose based on your interests: cultural content about the tiger or encounters with wildlife.
Caves and walking trails nearby
Mole Creek Karst National Park is located near Mole Creek. From the B12 through Mole Creek, signposted turn-offs lead to Marakoopa Cave in Mayberry and King Solomons Cave in Liena. Cave access and tour arrangements may change; check before your visit.
If you’d rather go hiking, there are several walking trails nearby, including the scenic Westmorland Falls Trail and Alum Cliffs. Track conditions may change; check the latest park information before hiking. Caves and trails offer different planning options: named cave destinations on the one hand and nearby walking options on the other.
Market dates and finding a hotel
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. This four-hour window makes the market a date-dependent option, so plan your visit specifically around that Saturday. Market times may change, so check the local events page before you arrive.
If the market is your main reason for travelling, set your travel dates around that Saturday first. If you’re also interested in Trowunna, you can factor in its daily opening hours as another point in your plans. Then look for hotels for your chosen travel dates.
