Along the way you will often see white-bellied sea-eagles soaring overhead. During morning and evening walks the bush will ring with birdsong.

About the region
Not far beyond the hustle and bustle of Hobart, Coningham Nature Recreation Area is the locals' best kept secret. The idyllic bays of the D'Entrecasteaux Channel and empty beaches fringed by Tasmanian native plants can be explored via the walking tracks that weave along the coastline and up onto the hilltop.
Views of the bays and hamlets are revealed through the trees and colourful huts line the beaches, reminiscent of a simpler time. Coningham is a place to immerse yourself in nature and simply let your mind wander.
Coningham Nature Recreation Area is a significant home for many other locals, too; white-bellied sea eagles and wedge-tailed eagles frequent the skies and little penguins seek refuge on the shores after returning from fishing expeditions. The reserve is also an important refuge for a number of threatened plant and animal species.
