The Edge of the World

Brian Inder b 1930, a Tasmanian wrote a poem called 'The Edge of the World', the plaque of this poem is located on the North West Coast of Tasmania, Australia not that far from Arthur River which flows into the Great Southern Ocean.
Wonderful place to visit to see the logs which come down the river then into the sea and back up on the small beaches.  The sea roars and is the longest uninterrupted expanse of ocean on the globe. From Argentina the currents sweep unimpeded more than halfway around the planet until they hit this point.

For me to visit the North West Coast of this area, Arthur River it would be about 4 hours away.

    1. Thanks. I reckon those trees are old but wouldn't know how old. They fall down the hill or mountain into the river and then flow out to the sea.
