Step into a world of natural beauty and colonial heritage. Follow in the footsteps of our ancestors as you explore pristine tarns on the Central Plateau, soaking in breathtaking landscapes. During this group experience, you'll receive personalised tuition from our expert guides during a leisurely lunch break and weather permitting, there may be a chance to go into stealth mode to spot, catch and photograph the elusive wild brown trout on the return walk.

Find yourself immersed in nature with a private guided overnight walk to Powena Creek in the beautiful Walls of Jerusalem National Park, a magnificent World Heritage area that provides protection and sanctuary for a diversity of undisturbed habitats which are home to plants and animals that are rare and endemic to Tasmania. Your fully guided and supported journey begins as we cross the Central Plateau entering a unique, glaciated landscape, hosting an extensive network of highland lakes, trout-filled lagoons, pine-lined tarns and crystal clear streams. The area is abundant with wildlife, sightings of wombats, Tasmanian Devils and wedge-tailed eagles are possible. Your fantastic Miena Village guides provide all the support needed, carrying tents, cooking gear and all the food. They even set up camp (and takedown), prepare delicious gourmet meals and provide a selection of drinks and trail snacks.
