Devils Gullet is a protected area in Tasmania, Australia.[1] It is part of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area.[2] From the reserve, visitors unable or unwilling to hike the challenging Walls of Jerusalem National Park can catch a glimpse of the stunning landscape. The viewing platform is located near Mole Creek Karst National Park.[3]
Devils Gullet was significantly impacted by the 2016 Tasmanian bushfires.[4][5][6]
