This video which is on YouTube is of Devils Gullet a very ruggered area of Tasmania and is 141 km or 87 miles from Launceston here in Tasmania.
Devil's Gullett features dramatic views into a steep, narrow glacial gorge formed by vertical dolerite cliffs 220 meters high and topped by alpine forest. This landscape has been evolving for about 200 million years, since long before Tasmania broke away from the great southern landmass called Gondwana.
There is a lookout there and it's a 20 minute return walk from the lookout's carpark. The walk is easy and takes place on a boardwalk.
Amazingly it's a place we haven't been to, and to tell the truth we had never heard of it until recently that is because a young man jumped over the cliff on purpose and was reported on our news last year. So sad. Apparently, it was a favourite place of the deceased.
The photos are from the internet.
That special corner of the world is absolutely stunning.
ReplyDeleteThe music on the video is amazing and wow the views!
ReplyDeleteI haven't a good head for heights and even sitting watching it and seeing your photographs make my legs turn to jelly!!
... and as for sitting on that rock!!!
Very sad to read about the young man though.
All the best Jan
Ugh, I can't handle heights, I feel sick...who gathered the courage to sit like that?
ReplyDeleteBest regards to you!
What a cool place! I wouldn't dare go there.
ReplyDeleteGosh, that man sitting at the edge of cliffs...how did he do that? My heart would probably have jumped out my chest..
ReplyDeleteI don't like heights.
ReplyDeleteA man sitting on a rock near an abyss ... geez..
Oh Margaret! This place has really touched me. It is stunning and I want to be there. The video add to the dynamics to it all. Thank you for sharing this wonderful land.
