For today's get away, we will visit the Tasman Peninsula about 90 minutes drive from Hobart, the capital of Tasmania. The Tasman Peninsula is home to stunning natural formations such as the Tesselated Pavement, Devil’s Kitchen, Tasman Arch, Tasman Blow Hole and the Port Arthur Historic Site.

 

This photo is from the Tessellated Pavement at Lufra, Eaglehawk Neck on the Tasman Peninsula. This tessellated pavement consists of a marine platform on the shore of Pirates Bay where there are two types of formations: a pan formation and a loaf formation. Here we see the loaf formation.

  

Eaglehawk Neck is a narrow isthmus that connects the Tasman Peninsula with the Forestier Peninsula, and hence to mainland Tasmania, Australia. A township settlement in the same region is also called Eaglehawk Neck. Locally known as the Neck, the isthmus itself is around 400 metres long and under 30 metres wide at its narrowest point. The area features rugged terrain and several unusual geological formations. These include the Tessellated Pavement, an area of flat rock that looks to be manmade but is in fact formed by erosion. A short walk further via Lufra Cove leads to Clyde Island, accessible for crossings at low tide, which sits at the northern entry to Pirates Bay. The island hosts two grave sites, and a rumbling blow hole cleaves the island. Eaglehawk Neck is a well-known local holiday destination. On the eastern side, a beach that stretches around Pirates' Bay is a popular surfing area. In summer the population rises as people return to their holiday homes. 29052

Located about 77 km from Hobart, it is an easy drive of just over an hour. In geology and geomorphology, a tessellated pavement is a relatively flat rock surface that is subdivided into more or less regular rectangles, blocks approaching rectangles, or irregular or regular polygons by fractures, frequently systematic joints, within the rock. This type of rock pavement bears this name because it is fractured into polygonal blocks that resemble tiles of a mosaic floor, or tessellations.

 

The most well-known example of a tessellated pavement is the Tessellated Pavement that is found at Lufra, Eaglehawk Neck on the Tasman Peninsula of Tasmania. This tessellated pavement consists of a marine platform on the shore of Pirates Bay, Tasmania. This example consists of two types of formations: a pan formation and a loaf formation.

 

The pan formation is a series of concave depressions in the rock that typically forms beyond the edge of the seashore. This part of the pavement dries out more at low tide than the portion abutting the seashore, allowing salt crystals to develop further; the surface of the "pans" therefore erodes more quickly than the joints, resulting in increasing concavity.

 

The loaf formation occurs on the parts of the pavement closer to the seashore, which are immersed in water for longer periods of time. These parts of the pavement do not dry out so much, reducing the level of salt crystallisation. Water, carrying abrasive sand, is typically channelled through the joints, causing them to erode faster than the rest of the pavement, leaving loaf-like structures protruding.

 

This backlit image here shows a fine example of the loaf-like formation. Looking beyond the horizon is Tasman Sea.

 

A beautiful dawn unfolded before my eyes as I left Tasman Peninsula. The best thing about this shoot, staying 5 minutes walk away at the Lufra hotel as an overnighter between hikes made this very easy to rush out to after I saw light was on!

My daughter exploring the staircase of an art deco hotel, 'The Lufra Hotel', at a place called Eaglehawk Neck in Tasmania. By virtue of its name, the place reminded me of the song 'The Eagle and the Hawk' from my childhood, and seeing my daughter there rising into the surreal staircase just called for this title. Taken with my iPhone as I didn't have my camera with me.

About Eaglehawk Neck

From Wikipedia

Eaglehawk Neck is a narrow isthmus connecting the Tasman Peninsula to mainland Tasmania. At the 2006 census, Eaglehawk Neck had a population of 269.

Locally known as the Neck, the isthmus itself is around 400 metres long and under 30 metres wide at its narrowest point. It forms a natural gateway to the peninsula that was utilised by the British in 1830s, when a line of dogs was chained to posts across the neck to warn of any convicts attempting to escape the prison at Port Arthur. The area was heavily patrolled by soldiers, and the guards' quarters still remains as a museum. Many attempts were made by prisoners to escape via the neck, including those of Martin Cash.

The area has a beautiful and rugged terrain and several unusual geological formations. These include the Tessellated Pavement, an area of flat rock that looks to be manmade but is in fact formed by erosion. Also nearby are Tasman's Arch, the Blowhole and the Devil's Kitchen, all striking natural formations.

Eaglehawk Neck offers accommodation in the Lufra Hotel, near the Tessellated Pavement, and the Backpackers on Jetty Road.

A nearby footpath leads to Martin Cash's lookout near the top of the hill at the southern end.

Eaglehawk Neck is a well-known local holiday destination. On the eastern side, a beach that stretches around Pirates' Bay is a popular surfing area. In summer the population rises as people return to their holiday homes.
