Guest siamsusie Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Ben Lomond National Park Ben Lomond National Park is a large plateau atop precipitous cliffs that dominate the plains of rural north-eastern Tasmania. The park covers an area of 16,527 hectares (40,772 acres), including the island's second-highest peak, Legges Tor, which is 1,572 metres (5,147 feet) above sea level. Just 50 kilometres (31 miles) from Launceston, Ben Lomond is Tasmania's principal downhill ski field. The hairpin bends of the road known as Jacobs Ladder, I think at this stage my palms were sweating, particularly as the youngsters stopped their cars in front of us and went body boarding down the bends.:mad: You definately need the snow chains up here. Great camping ! My Inlaws are farmers here in Sheffield which is overlooked by Mount Roland. Rolling green fields. Sheffield is a shopping centre for farmers but it is also known as The Town of Murals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
