If you want to camp with native animals then
Bakers Beach at the western end of Narawntapu National Park is one of the
ideal destinations. An interesting coastline and vegetation make the
park a great place to visit. The picture at the top centre is the view
from Archers Knob. A great colourful walk - particularly with spring
wattle in bloom. The park entrance is at the far end of the lagoon.
A new visitors centre has recently been
completed at the entrance to the park. Devonport is less than half an
hours drive west. The well serviced Port Sorell is just across the
Rubicon River which can be seen in the picture at the top centre above.
The walk to Archers Knob looks imposing from the car park but is less than
an hours walk from the eastern car park. A gently graded track takes
you to superb views of the coastline.
For the more adventurous, the coastal track
continues on to Badgers Head near the head of the
Tamar River.
A day walk from either end.
Another hours walk from the base of Archer's
Knob is Copper Cove. The pictures above are the view from the eastern
end of Baker's Beach, the view of the Asbestos Range from near Copper Cove
and Copper Cove.
