The Walls of Jerusalem

These photos are from a four day bushwalk on the Central Plateau of Tasmania, starting and finishing at Lake Ada. Most of the walking is off-track on this route, but you can take a shorter more direct approach from the Mersey Forest Road near Lake Rowallan. While many people know about the The Overland Track to the west, "The Walls" environs has its own special charm, with gorgeous little campsites tucked away in the myriad of lakes and small tarns that abound here. A range of small peaks provide glimpses in hidden valleys and yet more lakes. Ancient Pencil Pines with streams gurgling through buttongrass and cushion plants create a mystical quality that will stay with you long after you leave.
