Mount William National Park

Mount William National Park is a Tasmanian national park situated in Eastern Tasmania. Although the name of the park may make you think that the park is more known for a mountain, the park is known for its beaches.

Flora and fauna
The park has a diverse flora. Hundreds of different species have been identified so far. During spring and summer, the plant populations impress with their abundance of flowers. Many plants in the park depend on regular fires for stock regeneration. The sand dunes are home to succulent creepers and specialized grasses. Common tree species are black gum (Eucalyptus amygdalina), Eucalyptus ovata and banksia. In addition, the conspicuous grass trees are a common species of wood in the national park.

The national park was established in 1973 to protect the endangered Forester kangaroo. In the park you can observe wallabies, wombats and the Tasmanian devil although the latter is not easy to spot due to its nocturnal lifestyle.
