 Franklin River - Tasmania |
"King Island off Tasmania's North West Coast is best known for its Dairy Farming, in particular its World Class Cheeses..."
|
The Franklin River (a part of the Gordon-Franklin Wild Rivers National Park) is one of the world's great wilderness rivers and is in the heart of Tasmania's untouched south-west. Rafting tours of the area are conducted on a regular basis usually starting in Queenstown.
The Lyell Highway passes through the national park. There are several walks reachable from the roadside. The Franklin River Picnic Area is located where the highway crosses the river, and there is an interpretative rainforest walk down to the river.
The Franklin and Collingwood Rivers can be seen along with mountains in the vicinity such as Frenchman's Cap and the King William Range.
