This unique sculpture trail presents an outstanding collection of artworks exploring the multitude of human relationships established with the landscape of the Great Western Tiers across thousands of years.
Commissioned in 2001 and funded by the Commonwealth Government, the Great Western Tiers Sculpture Trail represents a significant expansion of the area’s reputation for being a centre for the arts in Tasmania.
Words can't describe this beautiful community art project depicting the Great Western Tiers region. In four soft sculptured panels of hand-dyed silk, one for each season, YARNS was created by more than 300 people using embroidery, applique, cross-stitch, weaving and quilting techniques. Non-stitchers are just as impressed as those who understand the efforts that resulted in this amazing work.

R.Stephens Apiary at Mole Creek was established by the late R.Stephens in 1920 and has progressed from a pre-war hobby of a few hives to a successful apiary business of 2,500 hives in the twenty-first century. Today the business produces 35% of Tasmania's honey crop.
The boxes are removed from the hives and transported to the factory, here the honey is extracted from the comb and packed for the retail market. You are invited to visit the factory and view this process.
