Sunday drive – a day trip from Hobart up Tasmania’s East Coast to Coles Bay and the stunning pink-hued granite peaks of the Hazards mountains in Freycinet National Park.
To really soak up and explore this area, it is best to spend at least a night here as there are some splendid long walks to enjoy. Due to work commitments, this trip was as much about the journey, as the destination.
We enjoyed a counter-meal at the Iluka Tavern before a couple of short walks to stretch our legs.
My type of sand – big chunky grains of granite and quartz!
We then walked on another track that took us around Cape Tourville Lighthouse, a beautiful day but very windy. In the image below, Wineglass Bay can be seen in the distance.
We then treated ourselves at The Ice Creamery Coles Bay before a leisurely 220km drive home 😛

I haven’t shown you the best beach yet … but that will have to be an over night stay in the future, it’s a bit of a walk to Wineglass Bay! The skinks are different and spotty on the East Coast to the ones near Hobart.

I can’t think of many better ways to spend a Sunday! Lovely place and certainly well worth the drive, I’d say.

Such a beautiful place! We went to Cole’s Bay and did the Mt. Amos hike a month ago. It wasn’t easy (especially because I wore birkenstocks), but the views were top notch!

That was my half hearted intention but we left Hobart too late.
