Getting There

From Launceston, travel through St Leonards and follow the signs towards Blessington. It is approx 50km for Launceston. From the main road turn off it is another 14km to the Village Carpark through sub-alpine and alpine forest. Once the forest clears, the notorious Jacb's Ladder comes into view, which once ascended brings you onto the Ben Lomond Plateau and leads you on to the carpark.
