On the wind-lashed
Tasman Peninsula, 56 kilometers east of Hobart, Tasman National Park protects
some of Australia's most spectacular coastal scenery. If you look at a map of
Tasmania, this park cloaks the far southeast tip of the state, with nothing but
ocean between here and Antarctica. It's a place of raw beauty. Towering
dolerite cliffs plunge 300 meters to the sea, islands shimmer just offshore,
waterfalls tumble to the sea, and contorted rock formations bear witness to the
relentless forces of wind and water.
