"What's at the top of your Tassie bucket list? Chances are, Wineglass Bay is near, if not at, the very top. It's not surprising. The curved bay, named for its shape, is stunning. This is where bright blue water crashes against bright white sand. It's bordered by green trees and granite mountains. One of Tasmania's first national parks surrounds it.
Wineglass Bay and the Freycinet Peninsula were once the home of the Pydairrerme people, who ruled the east coast of Tasmania. They were followed by French explorers, whalers, cattle and sheep farmers, and coal and tin miners. The busy bay--plus the land bordering it--needed a break. Finally, in 1916, the area was declare a national park. Now it's only overrun by tourists. But with scenery this beautiful, it'd be really, really hard to keep them--or you--away."
