Walls of Jerusalem National Park is a national park in the Central Highlands of Tasmania and a UNESCO world heritage site as part of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. It's renowned for the uniqueness and its naturalness, just like Jerusalem itself. The park was also the location of the second episode of the BBC documentary series Walking with Dinosaurs.

Unfortunately, you won't find any archeological ruins surrounding this lake, but rather an untouched glacial lake, filled with alpine vegetation, which is much different to the Pool of Bethesda in Jerusalem.
This naturally formed rock somewhat looks like the Throne of Solomon in the Hebrew Bible, except in this throne, there's near vertical cliffs and a vast expanse of wilderness.
A 1446-metre mountain peak that provides some good opportunities for photographers but the views are worth the hike even for non-photographers.
The most prominent feature of the national park, and is a popular venue with bushwalkers and mountain climbers. It's also the sixteenth tallest peak in Tasmania. And similar to other features of the park, the mountain is also named after places and people in the Bible.
A mountain with an elevation of 1,336 metres (4,383 ft) above sea level surrounded by four large lakes as well as large nearby visible mountains such as Cathedral Mountain, Mount Pelion East, Walls of Jerusalem, The Acropolis, and Mount Geryon.
A historic hut, with some stunning views. However, this should not be used as a general place to rest your head, and the same principles as #Trappers Hut apply.
Has the bare minimum, of just being a shelter. No electricity, or really, anything. Note this should only be used in emergencies. If you think you need to rest your head somewhere and it's too dark, head back to your vehicle, which is a much safer alternative.
This campsite is the only officially designated campsite, and has a sizable amount of campsites. However, they can easily get covered by snow any anytime, particularly during the winter.
C171 Mersey Forest Road runs right south of the northwestern boundaries of the park.5-km gravel road to the Walls of Jerusalem carpark. Avoid travelling at night, since endangered wildlife roam around the roads a lot.
Read in the guideThere are no roads in the park, and thus, the only way to get around is by walking. Only walk on the designated path, and do not veer off course.
