Another lockdown project completed. This one is a slide show made up of photos of the Central Plateau of Tasmania. The photos were taken in the Walls of Jerusalem National Park and the Central Plateau Conservation Area – both part of the World Heritage Area. The photos were selected from those I took on 17 trips to the Plateau between 1991 and 2020.
In the photos I trying illustrate the wild beauty of the area. The labyrinth of lakes and tarns, the amazing vegetation – including the Pencil Pines, Cushion Plants and Richea scoparia when in flower – creating a truly stunning alpine garden. It is an area that should be cherished. Unfortunately climate change may result in irreversible damage. These alpine plants have no where to go to if it gets hotter. In recent years, bushfires have destroyed a large chunk of Pencil Pine habitat.
If you watch the video – please look at it full screen on a high definition monitor or TV – and at the 4K resolution.
This is the third in a series of slide show videos I have put together recently that showcase wild areas of Tasmania.
Hi David,
I really enjoyed watching your photo slideshow compiled from your central plateau trips. I cherish this area and is pretty much my favourite area for hiking and camping in Tassie. Wondering if you could give me a brief rundown of the areas your visited? I recognise the walls including Ragoona campsite and plateau. Also what camera do you use?
Kind regards,
Stephen
Thanks for your kind comments. I deliberately didn’t give location information in the video – but general areas are the section between Higgs Track and the Walls, The Walls, The Lakes, Chinaman Plains, Mts of Jupiter, Cathedral Plateau, Traveller Range. Cameras – varied a lot from slide film cameras, early digital. more recent digital etc.
Thank you David!
