Mt Williams National Park - Walks

Walks within this park range from easy strolls on the beach to coast and heath walks of half a day or longer.

Mt William walk is an easy 1 - 1/2 hour (return) walk. Follow signs from the Forester Kangaroo Drive to the walk carpark. Climb easily along a clearly defined track to the top of the highest point in the park - Mt William (216m). From the top in clear weather there are extensive views over the coast and inland, while to the north you'll see some of the Bass Strait islands.

Cobler Rocks walk is an easy 1 1/2 - 2 hour return trip. Leave from the sign-posted road barrier near campground No. 4 and follow a fire trail that undulates gently through coastal heath before coming out at the coast near Cobler Rocks. A short beach walk past the mouth of the lagoon leads to the start of Cod Bay and uninterrupted coastal views stretching to the park's southern end near Eddystone Point. Return via the same fire trail.

The Bay of Fires walks are located in the north-east section of Mt William National Park. Expect to see beautiful mountain slopes and a rocky coastline leading to fine, white granite beaches, eastern grey kangaroos, echidnas, brush-tail possums, wombats, Bennetts wallabies and Tasmanian Devils. Bird life is also plentiful with over 100 species.

Nature is not the only thing on the agenda. Aboriginal middens remain from days when tribes migrated to the cost to forage for shellfish and the remnants of the bridge where the Aboriginals crossed in to the mainland of Australia can still be clearly seen.
