Tasmania's astonishing Cape Raoul


Here's another geologically astonishing place I just found out about; Cape Raoul is on the southern end of Tasmania, not very far from Hobart, actually.   If I ever had an occasion to get as far as Hobart, I'd make sure not to miss this place.

It's in  Tasman National Park, which looks to be a pretty spectacular park along the rugged southern coast of the Tasman Peninsula.






















Below are three pictures I found of the place;  it's one of those places that gets photographed a lot, even if it is beyond the reach and finances of a many travelers.  This ranks high on the list of columnar basalt sites, along with Giant's Causeway, Fingal's Cave, Skaftafell waterfall, the Devil's Postpile, and Devil's Tower.
