Peregrine Adventures

Walls of Jerusalem (6 Days)

Nestled in the highlands of Tasmania's ancient wilderness, the Walls of Jerusalem National Park features stunning examples of the Central Plateau’s history. Trek amongst countless exquisite glacially carved lakes and mountains, striking 300m dolerite cliffs (the Walls), and through thick forests of ancient pencil pines, beech or eucalypt. Features such as Solomons Jewels, the Temple, and Solomon's Throne will invoke joy in the heart of any bush-walker.
