The view from the
lookout at the end of the logging road high above Pirates Bay.
At the end of the beach are possibly the most
visited features on the peninsula including Tasman Arch, Devil's Kitchen and
the Blowhole - all within a few hundred metres of each other.
Eaglehawk neck
is about an hours drive from Hobart. Head over the Tasman Bridge and take
a right turn at Sorell. Just before Eaglehawk Neck there is a left
turn directing visitors to a scenic route. This is in fact the old highway
into the area. Very shortly the view on the right greets you. Just out of
the picture is a 'neck' of land a few hundred metres long and barely 50 metres
wide. Just past the neck there is a left turn leading to the features
below. The road leads right up to the cliff edge.
From Devil's Kitchen a cliff top
walking track heads south to Waterfall Bay
passing Paterson's Arch along the way. There is also a road to Waterfall
Bay but can be very rough. A walking track continues on around the bay to
the top off the falls and beyond to Fortescue Bay
some 6 hours away. A spectacular walk.
