The east coast’s national parks offer everything from giant Forester kangaroos at Mount William National Park, breathtaking gorges at Douglas-Apsley and the stunning peninsula of Freycinet National Park. Just off Tasmania’s northeast tip is Flinders Island, a place of dramatic landscapes and rugged coastlines, just a short flight or boat trip away.
