This AMAZING 3-4 hour hike is a MUST for all visitors to Hobart. The start is located 1.5 hours drive from Hobart at Fortescue Bay. Note that there is about 30 mins dirt road driving to the start. Lots of steps to climb, beautiful views and an absolute privilege to complete! I rate this in my top 3 all time best day hikes in Australia.

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
