I have had a few very busy months, but recently found some time to continue going through my photos from our holiday in Tasmania in January this year. The Tessellated Pavement, located just north of Eaglehawk Neck, is a naturally-occurring geological attraction with some very straight and parallel lines in the rock formation.

This location appeals to me, because the rocks look so artificially formed, but yet occurred naturally. The concave rocks are known as pan formations, and occur on the lower section of the pavement. The rounded rocks are known as loaf formations, and can be seen on the higher sections of the pavement.
