A favourite among tourists, Australia Rock offers great photo opportunities. With a bit of imagination, one can see that the hole in the rock bears a striking resemblance to a map of Australia, excluding Tasmania. Stories abound as to how this hole in the rock came about. One common story explains that this rock formation was the result of a ship being moored to the headland with large chains, inadvertently creating the hole, which was further worn away by heavy seas.
We were there late in the evening, when the sun was down and the hordes of tourists had left. It was indeed a terrific spot to snap some shots. I was thrilled to see for myself that the reviews on the Internet were not overrated and that the outline of Australia could clearly be viewed.

A short stroll from the Australia Rock was equally rewarding as we could see the seals. With the cool evening breeze fanning our faces, we were entertained by the antics of the seals resting on the rocks. Some were playful while some just preferred to be left alone in their dreamland.
