The landform of Tasmania's east coast has a markedly dryer climate and overall appearance than anywhere else on the island state. Vineyards prosper on temperate slopes and arch downwards from a gum forest backdrop to the Tasman Sea. The coastline is interrupted with small fishing ports and sweeps of golden sandy beaches. It's no wonder so many locals either inhabit or holiday in this part of Tasmania.
Along this stretch of coast is Freycinet National Park, home to some amazing and dramatic pink granite peaks, secluded bays, secluded white sandy beaches and abundant birdlife. Of course this park proved an irresistible attraction for the Bazflyers to spend a few days.
The hike to Wine Glass Bay involves a steep climb (in both directions) with something like a total of about 700 steps.
