Sticking out into the sea on Tasmania's mild east coast is the rugged and beautiful Freycinet Peninsula.
During my two years in Australia I went trekking in almost all the national parks in Tasmania and my favourite so far it’s the Freycinet National Park, which consists of knuckles of granite mountains all but surrounded by azure bays and white sand beaches.
I spent a week trekking all around the national park with a good friend of mine and it was an incredible experience.
The dramatic peaks of the Hazards welcome you as you enter the park. Freycinet is effectively two eroded blocks of granite - the Hazards and the Mt Graham/Mt Freycinet sections of the peninsula - joined by a sand isthmus.
Freycinet is a great place to go bird watching, you may be lucky enough to see a white-bellied sea-eagle gliding overhead or large Australasian gannet diving for food in the ocean and of course there are plenty of wide animals on the beaches and in the forest such as wallaby, raccoons, koalas and many more!
Freycinet National Park offers a wide variety of activities, from walking to swimming and is home to dramatic pink granite peaks, secluded bays, white sandy beaches and abundant birdlife. Situated on Tasmania's beautiful east coast, the park occupies most of the Freycinet Peninsula and looks out to the Tasman Sea from the eastern side and back towards the Tasmanian coastline from the west.
The beautiful beaches and pristine waters that surround the park can be enjoyed with swimming, kayaking or just lazing on the perfect white sand, while diving and snorkeling are rewarded with underwater views of abundant marine life.
The iconic Wine Glass bay is one of the 10 most beautiful beach in the world and it’s definitely one of my favourite beaches in whole Australia!
