Tessellated Pavement State Reserve

Here's a worthwhile short hike for those looking for one in Tasmania. As water pools, and then evaporates, sea salt causes the rock to flake in the middle leaving the joints raised. Nearby is a section where the complete opposite occurs. There, the joints are eroded leaving the middle section raised looking like loaves of bread. #TakeaHike #reflections

Tessellated pavements formed from fractures of one big rock stone. Very fascinating :)

Unusual rock formation on Tasmania well worth visiting. However, despite it being summer it was more of a UK summer's day!
