Walls of Jerusalem National Park

Walls of Jerusalem National Park is a remote alpine wilderness in central Tasmania within the Meander Valley local government area and part of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. Proclaimed in 1978, it covers rugged dolerite peaks, glacial lakes and ancient pencil pine forests. Known for its biblical place names such as Solomons Throne and King Davids Peak, the park offers challenging bushwalking and pristine natural landscapes accessible only on foot.

Visitors can expect a remote, track-only alpine wilderness with no roads inside the park. Access is via a steep walking track from the Walls of Jerusalem car park at the end of Mersey Forest Road. The landscape features dolerite peaks, glacial lakes including Lake Adelaide and Lake Ball, tarns, alpine moorlands and ancient pencil pine forests. There are no huts or shops; camping is at designated bush camps. Visitors explore on marked and unmarked bushwalking tracks requiring navigation and self-sufficiency.
