Ben Lomond National Park, Alpine nature reserve in Northern Midlands, Australia.
The Ben Lomond National Park extends across a 100-square-kilometer plateau featuring dolerite formations, alpine vegetation, and Tasmania's second-highest peak at 1572 meters.
Colonel William Patterson designated this mountainous area as Ben Lomond in 1804, drawing inspiration from the Scottish mountain of the same name.
The mountain landscape holds deep connections to the Tasmanian Aboriginal Ben Lomond nation, which consisted of multiple clans inhabiting the region.
During winter months from June to September, vehicles must carry snow chains to navigate Jacobs Ladder, a steep mountain road with six switchbacks.
The park contains 220 plant species and serves as a habitat for wombats, Bennett's wallabies, Forester kangaroos, eastern quolls, echidnas, and platypus.
