Narawntapu National Park (formerly known as Asbestos Range National Park) is a place of peace for people and wildlife alike. It stretches from the low coastal ranges to the long Bass Strait beaches, and includes an historic farm, a complex of inlets, small islands, headlands, wetlands, dunes and lagoons, all with an amazing variety of plants and animals. Small quantities of asbestos, among other minerals, were once mined around the edges of the Asbestos Range, hence the earlier name of the park. And hence the name change.

Situated on the central north coast of Tasmania, Narawntapu National Park is less than one hours drive from Launceston
