– Today’s photo: Plunging 65 metres to turbulent waters, Tasman’s Arch is another awe inspiring feature at Eaglehawk Neck, in Tasmania’s rugged south-east.
Carved out by waves and weather over millennia, this was originally formed as a huge sea cave, until the roof collapsed, many thousands of years ago. Photographer, Yours Truly.
