Tasman Island Cruise

Today (April 20) was our last day in Tasmania. In the late afternoon and evening we flew from Hobart to Melbourne and then to Adelaide, where I'm writing this. But in the morning and early afternoon, we had a wonderful cruise out from Port Arthur to Eaglehawk Neck. The weather was exceptional, and the scenery was great. Here are some images, in chronological order, from the cruise. Striated and columnar rocks of great age and size, billowy clouds over a deep blue sea, a plenitude of lounging and fishing seals, sea birds,... and some humor.

Gannets




Cormorants


Baby seal




These vertical columns are reminiscent of the Giant's Causeway in Ireland, but much bigger.
