National Parks
Tasmania is an island of wilderness; there are 17 national parks, including the world’s last temperate-climate rainforest, and its wildlife includes the unique and fearsome little marsupial the Tasmanian Devil. Some of the more notable national parks include Cradle Mountain/Lake St Clair, famous for the Overland Track walk; Mole Creek Karst, known for the colourful flowstone formations of King Solomon’s Cave; Freycinet on Tasmania’s east coast, which contains Wineglass Bay (one of the world’s best beaches); Aspestos Range in northern Tasmania, renowned for its wildlife; Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers, with walks, camping grounds and incredible views; Ben Lomond, Tasmania’s main ski resort; Southwest and Walls of Jerusalem.
