 Wineglass Bay, Freycinet National Park. Freycinet is a national park in Tasmania (Australia), 125 km northeast of Hobart. It is named after French navigator Louis de Freycinet. The closest town to the national park is that of Coles Bay, though the largest close town is Swansea. Freycinet hugs the rugged Tasmanian coastline and includes the secluded Wineglass Bay voted by several travel authorities as one of the world's ten best beaches. Famous features of the park include its red and pink granite formations and a series of jagged granite peaks in a line, called "The Hazards." Founded in 1916, Freycinet is Tasmania's oldest park, along with Mt Field National Park.
