Tassie Tiger – the legend lives on – or does it?
Tasmania is home to some of the world’s most unusual and mysterious wildlife. Australian animals, such as the platypus, the koala and the kangaroo, have been a source of wonder and awe to people the world over. But perhaps our most mysterious animal is the thylacine, or Tasmanian Tiger, which is considered to have become extinct by 1936. There are many reasons why people are fascinated by this animal. Perhaps it is its name and the romantic notion of Australia having its own ‘tiger’. Perhaps it is the fact that there are people who claim to have seen a Tasmanian Tiger and believe it may not be extinct after all.
While Mole Creek is one of the centres of Tassie Tiger sightings you will discover the many more mysteries above and below ground, that make this unique region a must-see for tourists and locals alike -from the majestic underground Marakoopa and King Solomons Caves to the visually stunningTulampanga/Alum Cliffs and Devil’s Gullet.

Mole Creek – Magic above and below ground
Mole Creek has everything you need for a long or a short stay one – great food, cozy accommodation and friendly hospitality – and is the perfect base for your exploration of a huge range of experiences in central north Tasmania.
The town and the local creek were so-named because the creek disappears into the local karst limestone ‘like a mole’.
Natural wonders include the celebrated Mole Creek Caves, a Mole Creek attraction for over 100 years, world-class national parks including the Walls of Jerusalem, easy walking trails to spectacular lookouts at Tulampanga/Alum Cliffs, Devils Gullet and Westmorland Falls, and bush walks along tracks cut by hunters, trappers and loggers up the face of the Great Western Tiers and beyond.
