Wide open plains that are abundant in wildlife create a wonderful location to meet some of Tasmania’s friendliest locals. Narawntapu National Park is a great place to get to know the local marsupials and you’ll likely spot Forester kangaroos, Bennetts wallabies and pademelons grazing or resting on the open grassland near the visitor centre at Springlawn.
The peaceful coastal waters of Bakers Beach and Springlawn Beach are generally safe for swimming. They are also popular locations for line fishing.
