Devil Gullets Lookout, Scenic viewpoint in Central Plateau, Tasmania, Australia.
Devil Gullets Lookout is a scenic viewpoint situated on a dolerite cliff in Tasmania's Central Plateau, featuring a raised boardwalk platform at the edge of a sheer rock face. The location overlooks the Fisher River valley with views extending toward Cradle Mountain and the surrounding alpine terrain.
The landscape formed over millions of years ago when Tasmania separated from the ancient supercontinent of Gondwana and glacial activity shaped the plateau. Since that distant time, the terrain has remained relatively unchanged, preserving this ancient alpine environment.
The Central Plateau Conservation Area maintains this alpine region without human development, representing Tasmania's commitment to natural land preservation.
The viewpoint is accessible via a short raised boardwalk from the parking area, making it straightforward for most visitors. No facilities are available on-site, so bring water and weatherproof clothing as alpine conditions can change rapidly.
On clear days, visitors can see Mount Ossa, Tasmania's highest peak, and the dramatic rock formations of the Walls of Jerusalem in the distance. This combination of sweeping views across multiple notable landmarks makes each visit feel different depending on visibility and season.
