If you are looking for a town to base yourself in, Coles Bay would be the answer as exploration
of the surrounds from here is fairly easy. Situated at the start of the Freycinet Peninsula, the
whole of the Freycinet National Park lies at your feet, and there are numerous daytrips you can
take that are ideally suited to campervans. Coles Bay sits at the foot of the pink granite
mountains known as the Hazards, and there are plenty of drives you can make through these
to satisfy your urges for rocky mountain views and spectacular scenery. You are only a two
and a half hour drive from both Launceston and Hobart here, so accessibility is not difficult from
either direction.
The Freycinet National Park is a celebration of everything that is beautiful in Tasmania. The
coastline is an awe-inspiring mix of rocky cliffs and white beaches, and the hinterland is coated
in thick vegetation that comes alive with colour when the wildflowers are in season. Local
wildlife thrives in their natural environment, and rangers offer plenty of activities aimed at all age
groups. Due to the popularity of this park it is difficult to secure camping over the busy periods,
but there are camping facilities in the park that are subject to council fees. Scenic drives and
bushwalks are well marked, and places of interest such as lookout points are easy to get to
and well sign posted. For more information on the park and on the east coast of Tasmania
have a read of this article.
Another must-see while you are in this area is Wineglass Bay. The perfect curve of white sand
that is the beach borders the bright blue waters of the bay, and the pink humps of the Hazards
rise up in the background. This beach has twice been rated amongst the top ten beaches in
the world, and deservedly so. Serene, calm and secluded, chances are you will have the whole
place to yourself so don't miss this amazing opportunity.
