Lake Malbena
The carolling of the currawong in the twilight of the high country soothes a weary mind, like little else can - Anonymous Angler
Lake Malbena lays at the heart of the Western Lakes wilderness in Lutruwita / Tasmania.
The lake was carved out of the Central Plateau in the last glaciation event, over 10,000 years ago - and has remained unchanged since.
The waters of Lake Malbena are pristine, a headwater lake high in the Walls of Jerusalem National Park. It's sweet, clear waters are collected from surrounding mountain streams and neighbouring lakes.
Halls Island is a 10 hectare floral arc of the supercontinent, Gondwana. Halls Island sits peaceably in the lake and holds many rare, ancient and unique plant species, a rufugia from wildfire and other threats. But it's also where a property developer is attempting to build luxury cabins accessed by hundreds of helicopter flights per year.
This commercial proposal would forever ruin a place held dear by generations of Tasmanian bushwalkers and high country anglers. A place for wild creatures and immense peace and beauty.
Fishers and Walkers Tasmania have been fighting to keep Lake Malbena tranquil for many years. A proposal for a helicopter tourism operation to an island in the lake threatens a tranquility that has lasted eons.
FAWTas has thousands of supporters across Tasmania, we need them to become financial members so we can keep up the fight.
