This site is a representative historical site of the "Australian Convict Sites," a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

I Go To Eaglehawk Neck / Tasmania


A tessellated pavement at Eaglehawk Neck, Tasmania, where a rock surface has been divided by fractures, producing a set of rectangular blocks





Eaglehawk Neck is a narrow isthmus connecting mainland Tasmania and the Tasman Peninsula, and was once the site of the historic "Dog Line," which prevented prisoners from escaping. 

It was a strategically important military point leading to the Port Arthur penal colony, and today it is a tourist spot where visitors can enjoy unique rock formations such as the Tessellation Pavement and a beautiful coastline.
