Freycinet National Park, Nature reserve on eastern coast, Tasmania
The Freycinet Peninsula extends into the Tasman Sea with granite mountains, beaches, and coastal formations across 169 square kilometers of protected land.
The national park, established in 1916, bears the name of French explorer Louis de Freycinet who mapped the Tasmanian coastline during early nineteenth century expeditions.
The land holds importance to the Oyster Bay Aboriginal people, with numerous shell middens and rock shelters documenting their presence across the peninsula.
Visitors require a park pass to enter, with fees of 41.20 Australian dollars per vehicle for daily access to trails, camping areas, and observation points.
The park contains 49 animal species exclusively found in Tasmania, including eastern quolls, Bennett's wallabies, and pademelons living among the granite terrain.
