A natural coastal panorama crowning Freycinet National Park, where the perfect scalloped curve of Wineglass Bay meets the granite spine of the Hazards Range in one of the most photographed vistas in the Southern Hemisphere. Seen from above, the beach’s pale sand and impossibly turquoise water form a shape so pure it seems drawn by hand, framed by pink-grey granite peaks that plunge straight into the Tasman Sea.

Sculpted over millions of years and long significant to the Paredarerme Aboriginal people, this landscape carries deep cultural memory alongside its geological grandeur. The Hazards themselves, named by whalers in the 1800s, rise abruptly from eucalypt forest, their exposed rock glowing amber at dawn and dusk.

Reached via a steep lookout track or by boat around the peninsula, the aerial vantage reveals a wilderness of dolerite-capped ridges, hidden coves and dense coastal bush largely untouched since Tasmania’s earliest days. It is a place of profound stillness, where wallabies graze at forest edges and sea eagles ride thermals above the bay, offering one of the world’s most sublime encounters between mountain and sea.
