Freycinet National Park
Freycinet is a national park in eastern Tasmania, spread over the peninsula of the same name and the island of Shuten. The length of the peninsula is about 22 km, and the width is 6.5 km. From the east, the Tasmanian Sea is washed, from the western part of Great Oyster Bay.
In 1642, a navigator from the Netherlands, Abel Tasman, who named one of the islands of Jost Schauten, sailed in these parts. Schauten was the head of the East India Company. In 1802, Nicole-Toma Boden went to clarify the map of the area, and he gave the name to the Freisin Peninsula. Then the Freisine brothers, who were completely devoted to the sea, participated in the expedition with him. Louis became a seafront, Louis Henry - Admiral.
The Freisine Peninsula is famous for its amazing Weinglas Bay, one of the ten best beaches in the world. The beach presents a crescent with clean and white sand, with azure water and stunning views of the rocks. This place is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts. Here you can ride kayaks, yachts, take a walk around the park, go fishing, climb mountains, dive with scuba gear, go on a three-day trip along the peninsula. In the bay quite often you can meet newlyweds spending a honeymoon here. And all because of secluded beaches, excellent local cuisine and comfortable houses.
The Khazards Mountains are no less attractive attraction to Freisine. The name of the mountains translates as "Danger", thanks to the spicy peaks on the peaks. The rocks have a pink hue, due to the presence of a pink quartz, formed during the Devonian period.
Freisin Park has a unique flora and fauna. Almost 59 endemic plants grow here, and from animals you can meet protein-flyers, Tasmanian devils, wombats, big-eared and kangaroo rats, echidn, long-nosed postings. There are also a great many birds, including Australian cormorants, white-bellied eagles, looking for prey from above.
