South Cape Bay - 25th January 2010

South Cape Bay - 25th January 2010Wagged work yesterday to go bushwalking instead. (Actually, it was arranged, OK!) Nice day for a walk to South Cape Bay, not too hot, but warm enough for shirt and shorts all day. The track was quite busy yesterday, including a number finishing the South Coast Track. The tide was very low, revealing a lot of rocks, some of which are also normally covered in sand.

Rock formation with 'tesselated' jointing, South Cape Bay - 25th January 2010This rock formation is intriguing. It is below the cliffs as you walk towards the steps, and you can reach it at low tide by doubling back after descending. I think it's often covered with sand, and that's why I've only seen it now and then. The jointing is very reminiscent of those in the Tesselated Pavement at Eaglehawk Neck, but I haven't yet investigated possible links in rock types and ages.
