The Hazards are a mountain range located in the Freycinet National Park on the east coast of Tasmania, Australia. The range is positioned between Coles Bay and Wineglass Bay and are said to be named after local whaler, African-American Captain Richard Hazard.[2]
Features and location
The Hazards are made of granite. Orthoclase, a pink feldspar, gives the mountains their pink tint.[2][3] The four mountains in the group from west to east are Mayson, Amos, Dove and Parsons.[4] The track to Wineglass Bay and lookout runs over the saddle between Mounts Mayson and Amos.
There is also a resort in Coles Bay utilising the name of the geograpical feature,[5] and travel information also includes local information about locations from where the hazards can be viewed [6]
