Friday Morning Radio, Edition 457
Three hours of music, Indies and memories not heard on mainstream radio.
Today’s Photo: Eaglehawk Neck, in south-eastern Tasmania, has a brutal past in the early colonial days. The locality also has some impressive rock formations, with sheer cliffs rising from an often-turbulent Tasman Sea.
One, is The Blowhole, which is a tunnel worn through the rock by waves whipped up by strong on-shore winds over millennia. A portion of waves striking the seaward cliff face thunder through this tunnel and emerge out the other end – which we see here, on a recent calm day.
Eaglehawk Neck gains it’s name from the narrow isthmus which links the Tasman Peninsula to mainland Tasmania.
Yours Truly.
