LOCATION
Birubi St George Alpine Club is located on Ben Lomond, Tasmania's second highest mountain peak. ​​​​Ben Lomond National Park is about an hour south-east of Launceston. Take the C401 through White Hills then turn right at Blessington onto Ben Lomond Road (C413).
The park boundary is 8 km from the Ben Lomond Road turn-off, and a further 18 km to the alpine village. The road is unsealed, so take it slow and enjoy the scenery.​
​
The final climb is the spectacular ascent of Jacob's Ladder.
This is quite possibly the most hair-raising and impressive alpine road in Tasmania. A series of switchbacks on the famous road creates a spectacular journey to a breathtaking destination.​​
The top of Jacob's Ladder gives way to several kilometres of gravel road along a long plateau, which finishes at a large car park. You'll need to leave your car here and venture the rest of the way on foot.
​
You'll find our lodge in Ben Lomond village - the third lodge on your right as you walk up the street, about 150m from the carpark boom gate.
