It was one of the most glaciated areas in Australia and includes Mt Ossa (1617 metres), Tasmania’s highest peak and Lake St Clair, Australia’s deepest natural freshwater lake. There are many short walks through the ever-changing vegetation as well as the 80.5km overland track.
Walls of Jerusalem
The Walls of Jerusalem are a natural feature in the Walls of Jerusalem National Park about 30 kilometres south of Mole Creek. The walls of dolerite cliffs surround a valley creating a visually stunning environment. The dolerite cliffs were formed by the movement of ice through the landscape over 100,000 years ago.
No roads enter the Walls of Jerusalem area. This inaccessibility helps maintain the area’s wilderness and makes it popular with experienced bushwalkers in summer and cross-country skiers in winter.
