Shaft of Light - a photo on Flickriver

Shaft of Light

            Today we continue exploring Low Head in northern Tasmania. Best known for its lighthouse since 1833, it is also a mecca for Geologists. 

I am no geologist, so I can't help you much with the identification of these rocks. But what we do see at Low Head is an interesting variety of rocks and boulders - most of volcanic origin. The whole of northern Tasmania was once (millions of years ago) active with large volcanos.

I'll put a link below to some photos I took at Devonport a few months back. I believe those rocks are Dolerite from the Jurassic period (180 million years ago). And here, please correct me if I'm wrong geologists, we see some more Dolerite.

These rocks have a texture like elephant hide and they are fascinating to see in sunlight. Follow the shaft of light down to the little rock pool.
