Hey friends, we've driven on some scary, hairy, drives on our 3 year Big Lap of Australia, but the drive up (AND DOWN) Jacob's Ladder in Ben Lomond National Park in Tasmania would have to be the scariest.
This UNSEALED road winds its way up the side of a cliff, rounding SIX switchbacks on the way. We weren't sure if our Long Wheel Base LWB Sprinter van would make it around the corners, and with a couple of near misses on the first bend I was sweating buckets!
Fortunately Nigel is experienced at driving on such mountain roads, and did his usual stellar job getting us up and down safely.
After that stressful journey we relax for an evening with friends at Liffey Falls before hiking to the Liffey Falls cascades. Just another beautiful time in Tasmania.
