Freycinet National Park - Tasmania

Another  blog for Frogpondsrock 's Sunday Selections! Go and check out hers and all the others linked there!


Freycinet is one of Tasmania's two oldest national parks, founded in 1916 with Mt Field National Park. The Park is on the Freycinet Peninsula on the east coast of Tasmania. The park is famous for Wineglass Bay which is often voted one of the best 10 beaches in the world, and the three Red and Pink granite peaks referred to as"The Hazards".






The closest town to Freycinet is Coles Bay which is a popular holiday area due to the beaches and crystal clear water.





















There are a number of walking tracks in the park, one of the most popular to this view of Wineglass Bay.






























Other popular walks lead up the side of Mt Amos, the middle of the three granite peaks.













Superb views of Coles Bay from Mt Amos.
