Hartz Mountains National Park

Let's throw another national park into our mix!  I came across the Hartz Mountain National Park, located less than 100 km from Hobart near the southern tip of the island, when searching for the harz flower, which looks like the one picture below.

Hartz Mountains have been formed by glaciers over the centuries and past ice ages, and now they are beautiful hike-able mountains with a nice view of the ocean and lots of interesting geographical features, like glacial lakes or the waterfalls pictured below.

A cool adventurous part of the Hartz Mountains is because they are so far south the weather can be unpredictable, inhospitable, and even wild.  My source details how in any season there can be heavy rain, drastic wind, snow, extreme temperatures and sudden weather changes.  It also says its a good place to see wallabies, pademelons, and possums.  Sounds like a fun and extreme adventure to me!
