Mount William National Park

|
140 sq.km.
Mount William National Park is of interest particularly as the home of the rare Forester kangaroo. Above the dunes and heathland along the coast rise forest-covered hills. In the north of the park, on both sides of Cape Naturaliste, are long open bays, good for swimming and surf fishing. Extensive eucalyptus forests cover the slopes of Mount William (216m) and Bailey's Hill. There is a varied fauna including seabirds and land animals, mostly nocturnal. With a bit of luck visitors may even see a Tasmanian devil.
