🥾 A Walk-In Wilderness Destination

Because there is no road access into Walls of Jerusalem National Park, every visit requires careful preparation and travel on foot.

The map is useful for:

The detailed 1:25,000 scale is particularly valuable in remote country, where weather or poor visibility may make tracks and natural landmarks more difficult to identify.

• Wilderness approaches and access points where mapped

This level of detail makes the map useful for route planning, general navigation, environmental fieldwork and understanding the physical character of the park.

🌦️ Prepare for Remote Highland Conditions

Walls of Jerusalem National Park is elevated, remote and exposed to rapidly changing weather. Strong wind, rain, low cloud, sleet, snow, cold temperatures and intense sun may occur at any time of year.

Poor visibility can obscure tracks, peaks and other landmarks, while wet, icy or snow-covered surfaces may significantly slow travel.

Before departure:

• Check current park alerts, track conditions and weather forecasts

• Confirm any current registration, camping or access requirements

• Select a route suited to your experience, fitness and available time

• Carry warm, waterproof clothing and equipment for exposed alpine conditions

• Take sufficient food, water, fuel and emergency supplies

• Carry a compass, suitable communications equipment and a personal locator beacon

• Leave a detailed itinerary with a responsible contact

This map should form part of a broader navigation system supported by current route information, appropriate equipment and the skills to navigate when tracks and landmarks are obscured.

🌿 Understand the Highland Environment

The park’s vegetation, wildlife and landforms have been shaped by elevation, climate and the long natural history of Tasmania’s central highlands.

The map provides geographic context for understanding how tracks pass through changing terrain and plant communities, and how lakes, creeks, valleys and elevated landforms connect across the wilderness.
