Freycinet National Park - Introduction

Sticking out into the sea on Tasmania's mild east coast is the rugged and beautiful Freycinet Peninsula.

Freycinet National Park consists of knuckles of granite mountains all but surrounded by azure bays and white sand beaches. The dramatic peaks of the Hazards welcome you as you enter the park.
