Freycinet Peninsula, Tasmania - a photo on Flickriver

Freycinet Peninsula, Tasmania

            Sticking out into the sea on Tasmania's mild east coast is the rugged and beautiful Freycinet Peninsula.
Freycinet National Park consists of knuckles of granite mountains all but surrounded by azure bays and white sand beaches. The dramatic peaks of the Hazards welcome you as you enter the park. Freycinet is effectively two eroded blocks of granite -  the Hazards and the Mt Graham/Mt Freycinet sections of the peninsula - joined by a sand isthmus.
The Freycinet Peninsula has formed over 400 million years as shown by the timeline below. The tectonic (mountain building) activity below the earth’s surface resulted in the separation of a large granite mass. The extent of this granite can be seen from Wilsons Promontory in Victoria, then down to the Kent Group, Flinders Island, the East Coast of Tasmania, with the most southerly signs being two rocks off the Tasman Peninsula.(Tasmanian Parks & Wildlife Service)
