We are looking for our last Tassie experience before heading back home, and decide Mole Creek is it. The location to The Walls of Jerusalem and the condition our legs are in, we set ourselves up in a quaint campground, on Sassafras Creek, ready for an exciting day tomorrow.

An hour drive to the car park, situated outside the National Park, we set off for our 3hr hike – uphill to a central plateau filled with alpine tarns and pine trees.

After an hour walking, over a rocky steep incline we arrive at the milestone of Trappers Hut. This time the kids packed their tunes to get them up the mountain.

The weather was perfect, a warm day with brilliant blue sky and views that go on, (a place that gets rain every 2nd day) we picked a beauty.

A further 1.5hrs (making the climb 600m elevation above the car park), we called lunch, and perched on a rock between the Soloman Jewel Lakes. Our rice paper rolls were a hit, just what we all needed to recharge. And the dining room was stunning.

We were all so happy to have reached this far. You could literally spend days up here, as most hikers do. But we didn’t carry the gear up, and the Mole Creek’s Tassie Tiger Inn was calling us! So we start the long walk back down to the car park. Still amazed at what we have seen up here today on this stunning plateau.

Good night…..
