xenith | More rocks, and a beach.

Still stuck on the larger size of the other day. Sorry. Really.

This is the Tessellated Pavement, which is a rare geological formation, where uneven wear on the rocks due to salt crystal causes it to crack along straight lines. (Does that sound like I know what I'm talking about?)

What's actually cool about it, is you can go down and walk around on it.

But my photos are a bit disappointing because my camera battery went flat :( Down here, while we walking around on these weird but cool rocks.

That was the last photo I took that day. A little rock pool about the size of my hand. It's cool little rock pool, but there were other things I wanted to take photos of too.

I did get the broken cubes on the edge though, with Tasman Peninsula behind.

The Pavement is on the Forestier Peninsula. That's the right spelling. I assume it was named after someone, but it's not that easy to find out, because it's not really an exciting sort of place, just a sort of tree covered lump with a highway through it that only gets mentioned because it connects the Tasman Peninsula to mainland Tasmania. Chain of peninsulas?

They are connected by a rather notorious strip of land known as Eaglehawk Neck that (based on my quick survey) no one has ever heard of. You can see the beach running along one side.

I won't repeat the conversation we had on the beach, that went:

"This would be easy to swim across."
"Except for the sharks."

Because it's not much of a joke unless you'd just been to the Officers' Quarters.
