Lookout

Cape Hauy

Hobart & Southern Tasmania, TAS

A dramatic coastal walk ending at towering dolerite sea cliffs on the Tasman Peninsula. The Totem Pole and Candlestick—two slender rock pillars rising from the Southern Ocean—are among Tasmanias most photographed natural formations. The exposed clifftop viewpoint is both exhilarating and humbling.
