Freycinet National Park, noted for its range of rare and endemic flora and fauna, as well as the diversity of landscapes and communities is also the oldest national park in Tasmania. Granite mountains, sandy beaches, dunes and estuaries dominate the landscape of Freycinet National Park.
A place of scenic beauty, Freycinet National Park is also noted for its flora and fauna; forty-nine endemic species are found at Freycinet. Whales, particularly southern right whales are frequent visitors here. The fauna of Freycinet include brushtail possum, sugar glider, humpback whale and bottlenose dolphins. The Tasmanian devil was once a common sight at the park. Now there is a significant drop in their numbers due to a cancer known as the Devil Facial Tumour Disease. The Park has a vivid plant life as well; more than 500 plants have been recorded within the park including more than 80 species of orchids.
