  • Pure Air - Pristine Environment

    Adreça:
    East Coast, Tasmania, Australia .

    Why Tasmania?

    Tasmania's greatest asset is the very fact that it is an island at latitude 42Degrees South - look west and the next land feature is the east coast of Argentina - look south and it's Antartica. The cleanest air and purest rainwater in the world; rivers and streams that originate from pristine mountain ranges and filter through ancient rainforests and highland peat marshes into the cool Southern Ocean. Tasmania's maritime environment with its four coastlines are unique as they are diverse, teeming with a rich array of endemic cold water sealife, they set the island apart from mainland Australia. With only 500,000 inhabitants Tasmania is, and will always remain, an unspoilt jewel at the bottom of the world.

    Electric barbecues, picnic tables, water and toilets are located at Honeymoon Bay and Ranger Creek.

    Refuse disposal/collection and recycling

    Please help by pre-sorting your rubbish before placing it in rubbish boxes and bins provided near the powered campsites. We recycle glass bottles and jars, aluminium cans and PET soft drink bottles. Please do not leave any rubbish where it will be accessible to wildlife.

    Fires

    Freycinet is a fuel stove preferred area as it is very dry and vulnerable to fire. No fires are allowed in the national park. Gas and fuel stoves may be used at all campsites except on days of Total Fire Ban. On days of Total Fire Ban, no naked flames of any sort, including gas and fuel stoves are allowed in the open. The electric barbecues provided at Ranger Creek and Honeymoon Bay picnic areas can be used for cooking on these days.

    Water supply

    Taps are located: along the sand dune access road; at the Honeymoon Bay picnic; and on power poles at the powered campsites.

    Outdoor theatre

    This is located just behind the Visitors Reception Centre and the entrance is sign posted off the main road. The nearest car parking area is the overflow carpark behind the visitors centre or at Ranger Creek, 200 metres away. The theatre is used for film and slide shows, for entertainment and as an activity meeting place during the summer period.

    The theatre is available throughout the year for schools and other groups. Contact the Visitor Centre for further details.

    Honeymoon Bay

    Freycinet National Park offers visitors a range of wonderful opportunities to enjoy spectacular coastal scenery, colourful wildflowers and a variety of Tasmania's animal life

    Scenic drives

    Cape Tourville

    The 6.4 kilometre sealed road to Cape Tourville leaves from the main road just after the Freycinet Lodge. From the carpark, take the short, boardwalked track around the cliffline to the lighthouse. Along this fenced track are sweeping views along the coast.

     

    The Friendly Beaches

    Spectacular views and miles of unspoiled white sand beaches are the main features of The Friendly Beaches, which were added to the national park in 1992. The beaches can be reached via a signposted turnoff on the Coles Bay Road. We are upgrading facilities, which at present are only basic. Gravel roads lead to car parks overlooking the beaches at a couple of points. Some information signs point out interesting features and foot tracks lead to the beaches. Basic camping is permitted at Isaacs Point and Ridge Camp, though there is no fresh water. Isaacs Point also has pit toilets.

    Ranger led activities

    During summer, rangers offer a variety of activities such as walks, talks and slide shows for both adults and children. Besides being lots of fun these are a great way to learn about our national parks, wildlife and heritage.

    Water activities

    Sleepy Bay is a great place for snorkelling and diving, while Honeymoon Bay is a good sheltered area suitable for beginners. Spectacular rockpools occur at both of these locations, as well as at Ranger Creek, and are well worth a look. Please don't disturb the sea creatures as they are fragile.

    Pyengana Cheese Factory / The Pub in the Paddock / St Columba Falls

    20 minutes drive north of St Helens are the dairy plains of Pyengana and the home of  ‘the trifecta’ ….1) The Holy Cow Café and Cheese Factory, 2) The Pub in the Paddock and 3) St Columba Falls...& 4.) The Shop in the Bush

    The Holy Cow Caféis great stopover, it’s part of the cheese factory and open everyday for coffee/snacks/lunches. Outside there are tables and chairs to eat and take in the views over the dairy country, on a sunny day stunning.,.. in fact any day it is! They also offer cheese tastings - their artisan cheeses are much lauded and worth the asking price! Try the handmade Tasmanian flavoured ice-creams. The cafe is open 7 days a week from 9am–5pm (10am–4pm during Winter). http://pyenganadairy.com.au/cafe/

    400mtrs from the cheese factory is the famousPub in the Paddock, step back in time for old school counter meals. Buy a stubbie, take it out to the pig-sty next to the car park, and give it to the resident beer swilling pig (she prefers Boags Draught!) and has been of drinking age for over 15 years, she’ll drink all-comers ‘under the fence!’ http://www.pubinthepaddock.com.au/home

    St Columba Falls is 5km further on and really is a worthwhile walk - an easy 600m walk to the waterfall through a really nice snapshot of Tasmanian rainforest – taste the purest of pure water from the stream on the way in..….infinitely better than the bought stuff!

    Also, halfway between St Helens and Pyengana is The Shop In The Bush, a worthwhile stop to peruse an array of quality collectables, specializing in  aged books, old jewellery and quality glassware - and have a warm by their open log fire ….if you ever desire an open fire in your life, this is the one you want!
