Mount William National Park

Mount William National Park extends along Tasmania's northeastern coast with white sand beaches, orange-stained rocks, and turquoise waters spanning 184 square kilometers.

The park received its protected status in 1973 to safeguard the population of forester kangaroos and underwent several expansions until 1999.

The Aboriginal name of Mount William is wukalina, and the area contains numerous shell middens and artifact sites from indigenous settlements.

The park features six designated camping areas near Stumpys Bay, with basic facilities including pit toilets and barbecue spots but no drinking water.

The park houses over 100 bird species and multiple marsupial species, including Tasmanian devils, wombats, and forester kangaroos.
