Tasmania Holiday – 2019 Day 1
Ian SchulzAfter the usual start to a holiday, flight, touchdown, hire car, travel snacks, and wine, the adventure has begun.
Hobart Airport to the Tasman Peninsula
After landing at Hobart airport and picking up our hire car, our next stop was the town of Sorell for a quick supply shop. Cheese, biscuits, wine and a few groceries to keep us sustained for the coming days. We quickly made our way out of town along the Arthur Highway, taking in the scenery on the way to Eagle Hawk Neck.
The Tessellated Pavement
Just metres before Eagle Hawk Neck, we reached The Tessellated Pavement. One word: Impressive. The Tessellated Pavement is a stretch of flat sedimentary rock along the northern end of Pirates Bay Beach. This sedimentary rock has, over thousands of years, cracked into regular rectangular shapes resembling laid tiles.
We spent a little over an hour here, taking in the beautiful scenery while waiting for the sun to drop, hoping for a spectacular sunset that unfortunately never eventuated, however, we did manage to walk away with several good photos from the area.
While a bit of a tourist hot spot, with a steady procession of people coming and going this is a definite must see when travelling through this area.
Onward to Tarrana
Having had our fill of the Tessellated pavement, we finally made our way to our accomodation for the night.
