This is more than a walk as there is a lot of rock scrambling. Please make to not do if wet or there has been recent rain as it will be very sloppy in parts. Also make sure you have good hiking shoes and we also found hiking poles and gloves useful. The 3km return trip can take 4 hours but it is worth it - the views are spectacular. A great memory, a must for anyone who likes a bit of adventure.

Freycinet National park has something for everyone. We visited with our 8-month-old baby and were still able to do a few walks in the park including the Wineglass Bay Lookout, Sleepy Bay and the lighthouse walk. The scenery is breathtaking and the different hikes available cater to all abilities. The 24hr parking park pass cost about $25 which was worth the money as the walking trails and very well maintained! Definitely visit here if travelling in the area! There are camping sites you can hire in the park as well!

We hiked to the lookout, then hiked down to the beach. It states 1.5 hrs return from lookout, but going down took 30-40 minutes as it is down hill. Once you get to the beach, it is absolutely beautiful. We spent some time relaxing there, you can walk along the water, spend as long as you want, even go for a swim! Toilets are located here also. You can continue to the Hazards beach or walk back up to the top. Beware, this is strenuous, 1000 steps back up. We stopped few times to rest as we are only moderately fit. But it was all worth it. Must do if you can.

We stayed overnight at the Friendly Beaches camp ground - a free camp overlooking the beach. Sites are made separate by natural vegetation. You cannot book so first in best dressed. No power or running water. Drop toilets with toilet paper but no hand washing facility. An amazing location - spectacular scenery. Cold overnight so rug up. Would recommend.

We love the walk up to the lookout, down to Wineglass bay, cross the isthmus, get to Hazards Beach and then back along the coast. They say 5 hours but we do it in about 4 and we are not the fastest walkers.

The oysters here were absolutely divine and soooo cheap. I had oysters with smoked salmon and brie - delicious. They also had mussels, scallops and you could have a takeaway of oysters, mussels and a huge lobster cut open ready to just scoop out the flesh and enjoy.
