Some of Tasmania’s most famous national parks include
the Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers, the Cradle Mountain Lake
St Clair, and the South-west park – which also form
part of a large World Heritage area.
Mt Field National Park
Visit the park for swamp gum forests, massive tree ferns
and rainforest. See famous Russell Falls, stroll between
some of the tallest trees in the world, visit Lake Dobson
for walks and skiing.
Wild rivers running true
The Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers National Park ranks among
the most rugged and inaccessible tracts of wilderness left
untouched on earth. It is best explored by raft. The trip
alternates between furious whitewater rapids and tranquil
eddies, past Huon pines and under ancient rainforest canopies.
The park is a pristine habitat for plants and animals found
nowhere else. It also contains numerous Aboriginal sites
of great spiritual significance to today's Aboriginal community.
Cradle Mountain beauty
The jagged contours and crystal lakes of Cradle Mountain
form the northern end of the Cradle Mountain - Lake St Clair
National Park, itself a part of the Tasmanian Wilderness
World Heritage area.
South-west wilderness
The magnificent South-West National Park covers over 600,000
hectares of wild, inspiring country. The park, the largest
in Tasmania, epitomises the grandeur and spirit of wilderness.
