Walls of Jerusalem National Park protects glacial valleys, dolerite peaks, tarns and ancient pencil-pine forest within the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. There are no roads inside the park and access is only on foot.
The approach is already remote
The main track starts near Lake Rowallan, reached via Mole Creek and Mersey Forest Road. A gravel side road leads to the registration booth and car park. Road conditions, fallen trees and winter snow can affect the approach.
Walk as a self-sufficient trip
Parks Tasmania describes the area as suitable for well-equipped and experienced walkers. Carry the current 1:25,000 map, navigation, shelter, food, a fuel stove and clothing for snow or blizzard conditions, even in summer.
Low cloud can reduce visibility to metres and snow can hide the track. Record trip intentions, allow spare time and turn back before weather or daylight removes safe options.
Protect fragile alpine ground
Use formal camping areas and hardened tracks. Alpine vegetation erodes easily, especially near water. The park is fuel-stove only, so fires and fire pots are prohibited.
A parks pass is required. This is not a quick extension from Miena or Deloraine. Treat transport, the approach and the walk as one plan, and check alerts immediately before departure.
