Description

Freycinet National Park 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. ​This route is inspired by Hanny's early family camping experiences to the Freycinet Peninsula.

On this route you will first explore the rises and falls of the undulating coastal trail from the Wineglass Bay Track to Hazards Beach, where you will likely then find yourself meandering up a shell-strewn beach with distant views to Mt Freycinet, Mt Graham and the rest of the peninsula beyond.

As you cross the isthmus towards Wineglass Bay, we suggest you pause at the vast inland lagoon, marvelling at the chorus of frogs, deliriously drunk on their frogs' wine.

Finally lean into the climb back to the Wineglass Bay lookout and marvel at just how far you have come.

Then whoop, whoop, whoop all the way back down the hill to the carpark.
