Edge of the World TAS

On the extreme west coast of an island state of an island continent with nothing but Antarctica further south, we've officially found the Edge of the World!

It’s a dramatic and evocative, albeit fitting, name for this rugged section of Tasmania's coastline where currents sweep unimpeded more than halfway around the planet via the longest uninterrupted expanse of ocean on the globe until they hit this point.

It was fascinating seeing the huge piles of driftwood that littered the beach, including massive bleached tree trunks demonstrating how powerful the storms in this part of the world must be.

The experience was breathtaking, almost literally, as we opened our car door to the blustering gusts of the infamous Roaring Forties. However once acclimatised with beanies and hoods snuggly in place, we could appreciate the sights, sounds and unsung beauty of this truly wild place. It was definitely a multi-sensory experience.Leer más
