Where is Freycinet National Park?

Freycinet National Park

Freycinet National Park

Freycinet National Park is situated on the Freycinet Peninsula on the eastern coast of Tasmania. The bush surrounds, pink granite mountains known as the ‘Hazards’, coastal dunes and the pristine beach of Wineglass Bay make the area a mecca for bushwalking, fishing, boating, sea kayaking and rock climbing. Wineglass Bay, as you can see from the photo to the right, is a picture postcard travel destination.

The nearby town of Coles Bay is the gateway to Freycinet National Park and is approximately a 2.5 hour drive from Hobart and Launceston. On the road into Coles Bay a stop at Moulting Lagoon Game Reserve to see the breeding ground for black swans and wild ducks is a must.

      Looks fabulous. I didn’t make it to Tasmania when I traveled to Australia. I’ll have to build it in to the next one.

      My brother honeymooned here. It seems to be one of the most magical places.
