Walls of Jerusalem
The Walls of Jerusalem is one of Tasmania’s most remote and rewarding alpine hiking destinations, often described as the island’s hidden gem. Located within the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area, this stunning national park features ancient pencil pine forests, alpine tarns, mossy plains, and dramatic dolerite peaks that resemble fortress walls—hence the name. Unlike the more popular Overland Track, the Walls of Jerusalem walk offers a true backcountry experience with fewer crowds and a deep sense of isolation.

With breathtaking scenery, rich geological features, and an unmatched sense of serenity, the Walls of Jerusalem is a must for adventurous hikers seeking Tasmania’s wild heart.

South Coast Track
The South Coast Track is one of Tasmania’s most remote and challenging multi-day hikes, stretching approximately 85 kilometres through untouched wilderness from Melaleuca to Cockle Creek. This iconic trail offers a true off-the-grid adventure, taking around 6 to 8 days to complete and crossing wild beaches, dense rainforest, alpine ridgelines, and river plains. The track is unmarked in places and includes river crossings, muddy sections, and variable weather, making it suitable for experienced, self-sufficient hikers only. Most walkers access the trail by flying into Melaleuca before beginning the trek eastward. For those prepared for the challenge, the South Coast Track delivers an unforgettable journey through some of the most pristine and isolated landscapes in Tasmania.

Western Arthurs
The Western Arthurs is considered one of the most challenging and rewarding bushwalks in Tasmania, attracting experienced hikers with its dramatic ridgelines, glacial lakes, and rugged alpine terrain. Located in the remote South West Wilderness, this demanding circuit spans 50 to 70 kilometres depending on the route and typically takes 7 to 10 days to complete. The track includes steep ascents, technical scrambles, and exposed ridges, often in unpredictable weather conditions. Walkers are rewarded with breathtaking scenery, including the iconic Lake Oberon, and a deep sense of isolation. Due to its difficulty and remoteness, the Western Arthurs is best suited for seasoned hikers with strong navigation skills and full self-sufficiency. It’s a true test of endurance and one of the most unforgettable trekking experiences in Tasmania.
