Mersey Bluff Reserve, Devonport, Northern Tasmania


 Stones

This rugged coastline of Tasmania is covered with beautiful rounded stones of all colours and sizes. The constant tidal activity has moulded them into perfectly smooth shapes.

 

All Alone, Mersey Bluff, Devonport

 

The coastline is littered with drift wood that has been washed up during high tides and storms. Even in this seemingly deserted area little plants begin to take shape until the next storm washes them away.

 

Bass Strait


Not all days are as calm as this one. Bass Strait in the background can be very treacherous but on this day, it appears as still as a millpond. That can change in a truly short period of time.
