History

Whether it's your first or fiftieth time visiting the Freycinet Peninsula, the area's dramatic pink granite peaks and pristine coastline never fail to take your breath away. 

Tasmanian Aboriginal history runs through every mountain, beach and hidden cove across Freycinet National Park. The toorerno-maire-mener clan, part of the Oyster Bay nation, are the traditional owners of this land. Today, Aboriginal sites are found throughout the national park, including one of the east coast's largest remaining shell middens located by Richardsons Beach.

As European settlement took place, whaling, tin and coal industries were predominant across the region.
