AusEmade: Narawntapu National Park Information and Attractions, Tasmania (TAS), Australia Narawntapu National Park is rich in both Aboriginal and European heritage, offering a unique view of the original inhabitants, particularly those of the Northern Midlands Tribe who adapted their lives to utilise the resources of this area and the Europeans who were to force them off their land. The Narawntapu National Park was originally named the Asbestos Range National Park because of the copper, asbestos, iron and gold that was mined around the edges of the mountain range in the early 1800 to 1830’s, forcing the Norroundboo people off their land. The park is located in the centre of the north coast, covering the coastal area from Port Sorell to the mouth of the Tamar River and because of its unique coastal heathlands, its importance as a habitat for native animals and its recreational value, Asbestos Range was declared a national park in 1976. www.ausemade.com.au /tas/destination/n/narawntapu-national-park.htm   (2016 words)

Tasmania: Narawntapu Narawntapu (Asbestos Range) on Tasmania's north coast is a wonderful mix of sea, dunes, fresh-water lagoons and coastal heathland. So, of course, we provided the name, Narawntapu, and I believe a number of other people provided their submissions as well and the powers that be, whoever they are, went with the original name. Gary: Well, apparently - yes, it was and the convicts drained the land so that it was sustainable for cropping and, back in 1976, when Parks took it over, and we dammed some of the drains up and thus the lagoon. www.abc.net.au /rn/features/walkpark/prog5.htm   (3773 words)
