Tasman Peninsular

Just an hour from Hobart lie the coastal landscapes, beaches and historic sites of the Tasman Peninsula.
We enjoyed the sites of Pirates Bay, Tasman Arch, Devil's Kitchen, Blowhole and the Tessellated Pavement.
The Tessellated ( or tile like ) Pavement is a result of erosion.
The Blowhole- more like a sea tunnel, the waves surge into a confined area, crashing into the rocks and depending on the tide, sends up plumes of spray.
Tasman Arch - a former sea cave, is a spectacular landform. The collapse of most of the roof has left an arch as a frame to the sea.
Devil's Kitchen - Formerly a sea cave but unlike Tasman Arch, it's roof has completely collapsed.
Our Tasman Peninsula visit was completed by stopping at the ice cream and seafood van where we indulged in some magnificent scallops, calamari, and Duncan's favourite - oysters- finishing with a large berry ice cream to share.Read more
