Central Plateau Conservation Area, Nature reserve in Tasmania, Australia
The Central Plateau Conservation Area spans 908.7 square kilometers of sub-alpine moorlands, lakes, and diverse ecosystems in Tasmania's northern wilderness.
The conservation area, established in 1978, received UNESCO World Heritage Site status in 1982 for its natural and ecological importance.
Indigenous Tasmanian communities have maintained connections to this land, using its resources and passing down knowledge through generations.
Visitors can access the conservation area via Highland Lakes Road A5 or Poatina Road B51, with entry points near Cramps Bay and Bronte Park.
The region contains the only alpine lunettes in Australia near Lake Augusta, formed through specific glacial processes over thousands of years.
