The second destination on our (brief) tour of Tasmania was the stunning Freycinet National Park. The most popular experience in the park is to walk up to the lookout over Wineglass Bay. The origin of the name of the bay is often debated - some say it is because of the shape of the bay and others attribute the name to the colour of the water. Frequently, the beach is named in the world's top 10 beaches. After all our Christmas eating and drinking, C and I were after a longer hike than the popular 45 minute climb, so we completed the 11 kilometre walk up to the lookout, down to the bay, across the isthmus to Hazards Beach where we enjoyed lunch and a swim before walking back on top of the cliffs to the trail head just inside the entrance to the National Park. The walk was perfect, not only for the exercise, but also because the further we got into the walk, the less people there were. Here are a few pictures from our day of doing the famous Wineglass Bay-Hazards Beach bushwalk ...
