The Vale of Belvoir & Lake Lea
Coast to Cradle Wild Country
The Vale of Belvoir and Lake Lea are located in the highlands of north-western Tasmania, near Cradle Mountain. This beautiful region is known for its open grasslands, wetlands, forests and surrounding mountain ranges. The area is important for its unique geology, rich biodiversity and cultural history.
The Vale of Belvoir is home to some of the most extensive and highest quality Poa highland grasslands that can still be found in Tasmania. It is also home to multiple threatened species, including Tasmanian Devils, Spotted-tailed Quolls, Tasmanian Wedge-Tailed Eagles and the Tanara Brown Butterfly.
The region also has a long Aboriginal history, with traditional land management practices helping to maintain its open grasslands.
