Just returned from a quick trip to Mt William NP and surrounding areas.Very nice spot with heaps of good
camping spots.
We spent the first night near Croppies point(on
Homestead Rd) which has lots of sheltered
camping,metres from
the beach.Next day we travelled up to Musselroe Bay then into Mt William NP.Top
Camp on the East coast is
well sheltered from the wind,very close to
the beach but not ideal for kids swimming(deep drop off and big swell).While heading back from Top
camp,take the Forester Kangaroo Drive(F.K.D) through the
park and see the largest concentration of Forester Kangaroos in Tassie.Half-way round the drive branch off and head to
Camp Grounds 1-4.No.1 gets pretty crowded but looks the best.No.2 was a dark and dingy
camp with not a soul there,No.3 is the only
camp you can use Generators in and No.4 is pretty small but is located next to a
day use area with free Gas barbies.
If they dont suit head back to the F.K.D and continue on around it.
There's more
camping sites down near Eddystone Pt Light House(
most Easterly point in Tassie) but we didnt get to check them out(
Deep Creek Camp).Please note that you have to pay to get into the NP and that allows you to
camp in the designated spots listed above.
Our next night was at
Policemans Point below
Ansons Bay.There are heaps of sheltered
camp spots here and a nice bay for the kids to swim in.
To get a map of all these areas log onto www.parks.tas.gov.au/natparks/mtwilliam/mwillmap.gif.
Park fee's and info is here to.So if your down in Tassie this summer check them out.I also have GPS waypoints for most camps listed,give us a yell if you need any more info. Nick
