During your 6 days exploratory walk you visit Tasmania’s only true alpine National Park, the Walls of Jerusalem. Visiting old growth forests of Pencil Pines, camping by tarns, and surrounded by the dolerite cliffs are just some of the highlights of this wilderness experience.

Your walk begins with an approach from the Fisher River past Solomon’s Jewels to your base camp at Wild Dog Creek. From your semi-permanent camp you will explore the heart of the Walls including Mt. Jerusalem, King David’s Peak and more remote areas such as the Golden Gate and Zion Vale. Carrying only your necessities for daily excursions you constantly pass an amazing diversity of alpine flora including cushion plants, lemon-scented boronia & mountain rocket.

After leaving your base camp you carry full packs and head southward taking in vast lakes such as Lake Ball and Lake Adelaide, passing groves of Tasmanian Waratah and Snowgums. The thousands of lakes within the Central plateau conservation area provide refuge for camping. You have the opportunity of climbing remote peaks such as Mt. Rogoona, where Bennetts Wallaby’s and Wombats are often seen. A new trip this season this is one of the most exciting trek on offer. Enjoy the thrill of exploring the Walls of Jerusalem National Park.
