Douglas-Apsley National Park, Nature reserve in Glamorgan-Spring Bay, Australia.
The reserve spans 16,080 hectares featuring river gorges, waterfalls, eucalyptus forests, and numerous swimming holes within its diverse terrain.
The protection of this area began in 1989, preserving one of Tasmania's last remaining dry forests from industrial activities like timbering and mining.
The park contains multiple locations connected to Indigenous Australian traditions and serves as a living testament to Tasmania's natural heritage.
Visitors can access designated camping areas near Apsley Waterhole, with basic facilities including compost toilets and walking trails of varying difficulty levels.
The park hosts eleven of Tasmania's twelve endemic bird species and contains Nicholas Needle, a prominent dolerite spire near Lookout Hill.
