Narawntapu National Park
Dubbed the "Serengeti of Tasmania", Narawntapu is one of the best places in
Tasmania to view wildlife. You are likely to see ducks, waders, sea birds,
honeyeaters and, in the dry eucalypt forests, impressive black cockatoos and
brilliant green rosellas. The park also boasts a rich array of easily observed
animals that come out in the evening to graze on the grasslands including - the
Forester kangaroo, Bennetts wallaby and common wombat. You may even catch a
glimpse of a Tasmanian devil.
The park is popular for swimming, boating and line fishing.
Walks in Narawntapu vary from long coastal hikes to short walks to lagoons and
bird hides. A Visitor Centre with interpretive displays, park office and full
picnic and toilet facilities are found at Springlawn, the main park entrance.
Picnic facilities, including tables and fireplaces, are also found at Griffiths
Point, Bakers Point and Badger Head. Pit toilets are available at Griffiths
Point and Bakers Point. The park has no shop or kiosk. |
