Icena Farm Accommodation

Mount William National Park is a pristine paradise tucked away on the far North-East Coast of Tasmania, at the northern end of the Bay of Fires. This windswept coastline features rocky outcrops marked with bright orange lichen and seemingly endless stretches of powder-white sand that squeaks beneath your feet – all set against a backdrop of crystal-clear turquoise water. Mount William National Park is peaceful and relaxed, perfect for walking, fishing, swimming or kicking back at your beachside campsite doing nothing at all. The Park’s namesake, wukalina/Mount William, sits at 216m above sea level. From the summit, enjoy panoramic views of the coast and, on a clear day, all the way to the Furneaux Islands in Bass Strait. Mount William National Park is home to an abundance of Tasmania’s marsupials and, as you explore, you can spot kangaroos, wombats, wallabies and echidnas. The coastal birdlife is just as varied, with over 100 species. Please visit the Parks and Wildlife Service Tasmania website (parks.tas.gov.au) for further information about this national park including how to get there and things to do. Refer to the ‘know before you go’ webpage for more important information about alerts, safety in parks and entry fees.

With spectacular views of Bass Strait, the Musselroe Wind Farm is situated on land known as tebrakunna to the pairrebeener clanspeople, the traditional owners. The Tebrakunna Visitor Centre is named after the land and includes displays and information about the wind farm, the traditional landowners, the history of the Cape Portland property and the maritime and mining history of the greater North East region. For opening hours and directions visit the Woolnorth Wind Farms website www.woolnorthwind.com.au/wind-farms/musselroe.

A great activity is to go kayaking along at Ansons Bay. The experience will leave you breathtaking as you take in the wonderful natural environment. You will also see plenty of water birds like cormorants, swans and pelicans. Eagles will more than likely soar overhead to making a magical experience. The bay is rather sheltered being an almost oval shape with a small opening leading out to the ocean. This makes it a great place to get out with a dinghy or kayak. If you’re keen to enjoy a great white sandy beach, there is one on the eastern side. This faces the ocean so at times it will be rough and windy, at other times it’s calm and gentle.
