Balanced Rock

Highlight • Natural Monument

As you weave in and out of this impressive boulder field, check out this balanced rock; it's a great spot for a photo. This rock formation is one of Tasmania's famous pink-and-orange granite formations in the Hazards Mountain range. These huge, rounded boulders were created from ancient molten granite that slowly cooled far beneath the Earth's surface 370 million years ago. Over time, they became exposed through uplift and erosion.

Wineglass Bay Lookout

Highlight • Viewpoint

This purpose-built lookout provides the park’s signature view over the perfectly curved shoreline and turquoise water of Wineglass Bay. Set on the saddle between the Hazards peaks, it offers an elevated panoramic vantage point, framed by granite mountains and dense coastal bushland. The spacious viewing platform includes seating and railings, making it a comfortable place to pause and take in one of Tasmania’s most iconic coastal vistas.

Wineglass Bay Track

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Wineglass Bay Track is impressively well-maintained, with stone steps, guardrails, clear signage, and jaw-dropping viewpoints. The boulder fields have interestingly shaped giant stones that really invoke the imagination.

Wineglass Bay Lookout

Highlight • Viewpoint

This lookout point is quite the reward for the hike to get here! Turquoise water, a white-sand beach, and hills surrounding the bay, all seen from above. You may choose to descend to this beach via the "1000 Stairs," but be aware that you are descending first; that's the easy part. You then must climb back up.

February 1, 2025,Australia 🇦🇺 - Wineglass Bay Lookout

Unfortunately, there was no time left for the planned round trip, but we wanted to avoid dusk on the road because of the many wild animals 😱
