Introducing Walls of Jerusalem National Park
This isolated Central Plateau national park (part of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area) features glacial lakes and valleys, alpine flora and the rugged dolerite Mt Jerusalem (1459m). It’s a favourite of experienced bushwalkers with a lust for challenging, remote hiking. The most popular walk here is the full-day trek to the ‘Walls’; you can also camp in the park. National park fees apply.

If you prefer a guided walk, Tasmanian Expeditions operates a six-day Walls trip for $1290. Tasman Bush Tours and Tiger Trails also run tours here.
Access to the Walls is from Sheffield or Mole Creek. From Mole Creek take the B12 west, the C138 south then the C171 (Mersey Forest Rd) to Lake Rowallan; remain on this road, following the C171 and/or Walls of Jerusalem signs to the start of the track. Pick up the Walls of Jerusalem Map ($9.50) from Mole Creek Caves Ticket Office.
