Spectacular Sights



Yet again, the coastline has provided us with some super scenery. Very close to our hotel is a stretch of cliff with a combination of geological features that is prone to erosion by the sea, producing interesting landforms like the Tasman Arch, where weak points have been worn away initially forming caves. With continued erosion, these may work through to the sea on the other side of a narrow headland producing an arch.

The Devil’s Kitchen is another such landform, taken a stage further, so the arch above has collapsed, leaving the narrow gorge-like inlet.




Less spectacular but beautiful, nevertheless, was this view over Norfolk Bay. We just loved the soft mountains in the background and the varied colours of the sea.
