National park in Tasmania, Australia

Kent Group National Park (commonly called Kent Group) is the northernmost national park in Tasmania, part of the Bass Strait Islands around halfway between mainland Australia and the mainland of Tasmania, and an enclave within the federally managed Beagle Marine Park. The park is a haven for Australian sea lions, and is so remote, that arguably it can be said to be one of the most difficult to get to parks in Tasmania (but not the most, because that goes to Savage River NP, which is entirely inaccessible).

With a height of 305 metres, Deal Island Lighthouse is the tallest lighthouse in the Southern Hemisphere. The lighthouse was built in 1848, became automated in 1922, and was deactivated in 1992. Today, there is a small museum by the lighthouse, called The Kent Group Museum, containing stories of what life was like on these islands before the 21st century.
Getting into the park is not easy. This place is next-to-impossible at times, especially during rain, but otherwise it is hard to get to.
