'''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, Tasmania|Coles Bay]] and Wineglass Bay and are said to be named after a local whaler, African-American Captain Richard Hazard. The range consists of five mountains: Mayson (415 m), Amos (454 m), Dove (485 m), Baudin (413 m) and Parson (331 m).<ref name="tasmap" />
