From Narawntapu National Park (North of Launceston) to the far north west coast, there is an abundance of wildlife that has given this coastal stretch of road a reputation as Tasmania's premier Great Nature Trail. Hiding just off the warm waters are penguin rookeries and seal colonies, in the diverse inland waterways are platypuses and the fertile soil produces much fresh produce which speaks for the amazing increase in agrotourism!
There is Rocky Cape National Park and Gunns Plains State Reserve to call in and stroll around, delicious seafood to enjoy at local restaurants, art galleries, vineyards and of course the amazing geological feature of 'the Nut' at Stanley. Of the numerous small attractions, you can be sure to hear about Dismal Swamp (operated by Forestry Tasmania) where you can see amazing displays featuring Tasmania's unique flora.
