Cradle Mountain Lake St Clair and Walls of Jerusalem National Parks Guidebook

The Cradle Mountain Lake St Clair and Walls of Jerusalem National Parks Guidebook is the ultimate bushwalking companion for exploring the northern section of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. This updated guide covers all marked tracks and most unmarked routes across these iconic national parks, complete with comprehensive track notes, essential safety details, and background context on regional history, geology, weather, and botany.  This latest edition features revised notes and a new description of the Jacksons Creek Track, an unmarked route linking Mersey Road to Lake Myrtle.

Included Bushwalking Routes

• Day Walks: Highlights throughout the Cradle Mountain and Lake St Clair regions.
• The Overland Track: Complete coverage of the main trail along with all major side trips.
• Pelion Plains Access: Approaches via Pine Valley, Arm River, and Lees Paddocks.
• Regional Trails: The Penguin Cradle Trail and every access route into the Walls of Jerusalem.
• Park Links & Off-Track Routes: Inter-park connecting trails, plus a dedicated section of rougher routes for experienced, off-track navigators.

Choosing Your Guidebook: Main Guide vs. Companion Guide

If you plan to walk only the Overland Track, consider the dedicated companion book, Overland Track. Because its content is a focused subset of this larger volume, you only need to carry one on the trail. However, each book features a distinct collection of photographs, making both worth owning for avid collectors and photography enthusiasts.
