Within the Walls

Written by Mont Ambassador Geoff Murray

Last week I walked into Tasmania’s Walls of Jerusalem. This is a fascinating area in the Central Tasmania highlands with a superb amphitheatre of mountains surrounding a collection of alpine tarns, grasslands and forests.

This magical landscape, that I have experienced in all 4 seasons, has accepted my presence 26 times now. Despite seeing much heavier use than when I first discovered it in 1989, it is still a wonderful place to visit. Fortunately there is now a system to manage numbers to a sensible level within the park and this helps maintain its value to all that visit it.

It is the coldest place I have slept in in Tasmania at -14°C. It is also notable in the summer months as being a great place to observe Tassie’s beautiful Tiger snake, usually several times on each trip.

I used Mont’s brilliant 4 season alpine integral pitch tent, the Supercell along with my luxurious 680 Helium sleeping bag last week. Over the years I have slept in the Moondance 1 FN, Moondance 2, Epoch, Dragonfly, Krypton and now the Supercelland all of these tents have provided safe and secure shelter.

I thought it might be worthwhile putting a few images together that I have captured over the years.
