About Freycinet
Freycinet is a remote coastal locality on the Freycinet Peninsula on Tasmania's spectacular East Coast, situated approximately 200 km north-east of Hobart. Encompassing 72 km², the area is sparsely populated and is best known as home to the world-renowned Freycinet National Park. The locality falls within the electorate of Lyons and is administered at a regional level through southern Tasmania's local government framework.
Freycinet draws visitors from across the globe to experience Wineglass Bay — consistently rated among Australia's most beautiful beaches — as well as the pink granite peaks of the Hazards mountain range. The area supports a small community of permanent residents, tourism operators, and park workers, with a lifestyle centred on bushwalking, sea kayaking, rock climbing, and eco-tourism. Accommodation ranges from luxury lodges to bush campsites within the national park.
Freycinet falls under postcode 7215 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Lyons (Prosser) electorate.
