Walls of Jerusalem National Park

After Cradle NP we headed on around the corner (so to speak) to The Walls of Jerusalem National Park, for a couple of days of tramping. It’s a lovely walk in, lakes everywhere and some decent hills around. I think I was expecting just a vertical canyon about, say, 3km high on every side. It wasn’t quite that, but definitely a good place to get to.

I forget the original reason why, but someone named the hill “Mt Jerusalem” and after that, every stream, hill and other landmark became similarly named. This picture is from the top of the Temple Mount (I think)

Also. there were alien pods all over the place.

The stars at night were simply spectacular, and my little camera (and astro-photography skills) definitely don’t do the place justice. We had to camp on these little wooden platforms, specially designed so that the hordes of trampers who are there won’t destroy the place. There were wire tie-downs at each corner, and you basically just strapped yourself in.

Definitely Australia though.. the trees (and wildlife) were a dead giveaway.

And a video (no sound)
