Sunrise Peace in North-East’s Tip
Wukalina- Mt. William National Park
My curiosity and wonders in checking out the edges of the land / place that I get to visit brought me this time to Wukalina.
Mt. William National Park is Tasmania’s North-East Tip National Park that gives you a direct view of Flinder’s Island in the North, while you will be facing Pacific in the East.
Beside the information area is viewpoint as you approach the campsites from the East after the Kangaroo Drive Trail, you’ll find a historical information board that contains the story of the traditional land owners of the area. This is what I love about Tasmania’s historical information, it tells the stories of who used to live in the area and how they lived in there. So refreshing to play in my imagination as I watch the pristine wild land in front of me and feel their energy and spirits.
The original name of the place is Wukalina, before the European Conquistadors colonised the area and changed the name with a Westerner’s name.
History Tablets: Love learning the story of the Land and take a moment to feel it.
A 2-hour Drive from Launceston, it offers a number of well maintained campgrounds to choose from: Stumpy Campground has: Top Campground, Campground 1, Campground 2, Campground 3 and Campground 4.
All campsites are surrounded by trees and shrubs that serves as friendly good shield from the howling and strong Pacific winds and shade from the scorching sun in peak summer days.
I’ve chosen to stay in Campground 3 as its got an open access to the beach while a secluded spot for myself in the corner, far enough to the next campers.
All campgrounds offers:
Designated Firepits
Drop Toilets
Shades
Picnic Tables
Beach / Creek Access
All campsites are shaded by trees
Great wind protection
Campground 1 offers a great flat set up, but a bit too close from each other where you can see the next campers directly, but still, big enough space. Walking distance to the beach.
payment and information area is here
Campground 2 are great for those who would love to set up their hammocks and offers alot of shades like campground 1. A bit too crowded and you can see the next camper straightaway without blockages from trees. Its for is a rectangular loop.
Campground 3 is great for caravans and campervans, big spaces, heaps of fire pits and sections, great for big groups. Chose this area as I have a great view of the North and East horizons.
Boat access is located here
Great for Caravan and Camper Trailers
Sunrise Clear View by the Beach
Campground 4 has its own pristine beauty as it is located right beside the creek that connects to the ocean.
Day Trip BBQ area is located here
Specific camp spot has its own access for the creek
Pretty private for some spots, not too close
Great for tent / car camping or mini trailers

Full time work is full on not sustainable. ——- WHINGE TIME. Thats it.
Hence, I just decided to continue my long weekend off solo after spending time with my family for the last few days.
Decided to explore the North-East of Tasmania with a soft plan of stops and overnight.
I ended up choosing from the campgrounds above and enjoyed the most serene sunset and first time in a long time sunrise at the tip of Tassie.
Serenity in the Frothy Waters
North East Tip of Tasmania
Tamed in the stillness of the waves
“We are the extension of our Nature & so as Nature is the extension of us.
We are One.”

Back to my story:
This scenery literally washed away all the heaviness and reset my energy from the hypersensitivities caused by the modern and mundane pressures. It feels impossible to create a sustainable on going healthy and vibrant mindset with the current set up of society.
Yes it is true that we are here to learn the ways of being human.
Yes the mundane helps us bridge our human-ness and be of this earth.
Yes it helps us learn the lessons we need to learn in this lifetime.
Yes, the lesson and the challenge is in the mundane, but,
the current society structure is pushing us to remain always in survival mode driven from fear, rather than thriving in a safe and well regulated space, that is great for our nervous system.
The current state of the world is driven with fear, though this is an innate human condition, this is where the work that needs to be done. How can we turn the narrative around? What ways can we fear our friend and guide rather than be our impulse driver?
This is the work that I am seeing here right now, how to create a better structure with this conscious awareness in creating a safer world thriving in love and calmness.
NATURE - GROUNDING - RITUALS - RELEASE.
Its been a year since I was out close to nature like this. I always find it healing to camp as it brings me to my center and ground me, remind me of everything beautiful in many layers unexplainable in words. This is my SOS call to myself when I am in the brink of a loop of feeling miserable and nothing ever works.
Its like my Resuscitation.
Nature is my home for I was born wild.
