Walls of Jerusalem National Park
Walls of Jerusalem National Park, Natural reserve in Central Highlands, Tasmania.
Description
Walls of Jerusalem National Park is a protected reserve in Tasmania's Central Highlands featuring numerous mountain lakes, steep rocky peaks, and ancient glacial formations. The landscape sits within the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area and displays dramatic alpine terrain shaped by ice age processes.
History
The reserve gained national park status in 1978 and became part of a UNESCO World Heritage area in 1982. Glacial activity during ice ages carved the landscape into the alpine terrain visible today.
Culture
Aboriginal communities maintained relationships with this landscape long before European arrival, relying on its resources for their way of life.
Practical
Access to the park is only on foot via walking tracks, beginning from Lake Rowallan and requiring a valid parks pass. Visitors should prepare for alpine conditions, including changeable weather and steep terrain.
Did you know?
The park holds numerous small glacial lakes surrounded by pencil pines and snow gums native only to this region. These twisted trees adapt to harsh alpine conditions and give the landscape a distinctive gnarled appearance.
