Riding to Freycinet
Tasmania

The Freycinet Peninsula is a beautiful stretch of pink granite hills and islands on the east coast of Tasmania. If you're heading south along the east coast you simply take the turnoff and ride out along the peninsula to get to Coles Bay. If you're heading north, your best bet may be to ride to Swansea, head out along Nine Mile Beach and get some bloke with a tin boat to take you across the 100m stretch of water that separates the peninsula from the mainland at that point (you have to prearrange the boat ride though - see guide books or locals in Swansea or Coles Bay). It's either 100m of water or an extra 50km of bitumen.
