The Blackwood Cottages are a great base for exploring the Mole Creek area. The Pioneer cottage is a cosy space with a wood fire heater, new bathroom and small kitchen. Goats, chickens and sheep roam around the surrounding paddocks and — had it not been a rainy day — I'm sure would be up for a pat! Don't miss a visit to tulampanga/Alum Cliffs just up the road for magical views and an understanding of the deep cultural connections of Tasmanian Aboriginal people to this Country.
