Port Arthur
Port Arthur is a small town and former convict settlement on the Tasman Peninsula, in Tasmania, Australia. Port Arthur is one of Australia's most significant heritage areas and the open air museum is officially Tasmania's top tourist attraction. Known for its harsh conditions, dark history and stark beauty. |
 |
Tessellated Pavement
The Tessellated Pavement is located just north of Eaglehawk Neck, in Tasmania. Nearby, a number of other geological attractions are located, including the Tasman Arch, Devil's Kitchen, and the Blowhole.
However, the Tessellated Pavement was the most intriguing for me, with the rock formation looking very much like it was man-made, due to the very straight and parallel lines in the rock formation. |

The Blowhole
The Tasman Blowhole is an unusual rock formation carved by the sea through the sheer rock face of the eastern coast of the Peninsula and creating a tunnel through which the force of the sea causes periodic ruptures of the water which can spurt to 10 metres high.
It is best seen at high tide, but is attractive at any time.
The Tasman Arch, Tasman Blowhole and Devil's Kitchen are grouped together near Doo Town and Penzance immediately after crossing the Eaglehawk Neck onto the Tasman Peninsula. |

Devils Kitchen
The Devil's Kitchen is an unusual rock formation carved by the sea through the sheer rock face of the eastern coast of the Peninsula.
The Tasman Arch, Tasman Blowhole and Devil's Kitchen are grouped together near Doo Town and Penzance immediately after crossing the Eaglehawk Neck onto the Tasman Peninsula.
All are adjacent to the car park with no walking required. |
 |
Tasman Arch
Tasman's Arch is a natural arch which is really a greatly enlarged tunnel running from the coast along a zone of closely spaced cracks and extending inland to a second zone perpendicular to the first. The roof at the landward end of the tunnel has collapsed but the hole is too large and the sides are too high to form a blowhole. The tunnel was produced by wave action. |
