Woodheap II :: The Edge of the World, Arthur River, Tasmania
The Edge of The World. The ocean here stretches uninterrupted all the way to Argentina, 15,000 km away to the west. The sea west of Tasmania is in fact the longest uninterrupted expanse of ocean on the globe. From Argentina the currents known as the Roaring 40's sweep unimpeded more than halfway around the planet until they hit this point.
The wild rivers of western Tasmania, when in flood deliver logs and other forest debris to the coast. This flotsam is then worked along the coast by wild seas, creating stranded wood heaps such as this.
