The Freycinet Peninsula is part of the Freycinet National Park, and main access is gained through the town of Coles Bay. The main features of this spectacular 10,000 hectare National Park is the imposing Hazard Range, consisting of three mountains, Amos, Dove and Mayson. This range is composed of a rare pink granite.


Natural Attractions

The Hazards can be climbed by the adventurous bushwalker, while the soft white sands of Wineglass Bay may be explored by those not wishing to toil up the pink slopes of the ranges. A full one day walk around the peninsula with time for a picnic at Cookes Beach provides walkers with many beautiful vistas and an abundance of natural flora and fauna to admire.

Other Attractions

Activities to interest the visitor include fishing, boating, and visiting the local wineries to sample the native vintages. When you've finished exploring all that the land has to offer, go scuba diving and explore the rich marine life and landscape of the sea. Scenic drives bring the visitor to various beauty spots such as Bluestone Bay, Cape Tourville Lighthouse and Sleepy Bay.

For information on all the activities the park has to offer, visit the Department of Parks, Wildlife and Heritage Station, located at the entrance to the park.
