@tasmania: A coastline this dramatic deserves an equally dramatic name. 'Edge of the World' lookout on Tasmania's north-west coast feels as remote as it looks. Take the scenic drive 2hrs west of Burnie to find yourself staring across the open ocean stretching west from Tasmania. Inhale some of the cleanest air on the planet; there's nothing but uninterrupted ocean at this latitude for about 17,000km until Argentina. While you're visiting, you'll find driftwood washed ashore from the blustery Roaring Forties winds, and maybe a few fellow drifters roaming the boardwalk. 📍 Edge of the World, Arthur-Pieman Conservation Area, Tasmania's north west 📽️ IG/hamishlockett #DiscoverTasmania 🌊 Sea conditions at this location are wild and unpredictable. Swimmers, surfers, fishers and boating enthusiasts need to exercise caution. It's not possible to take a boat out at the mouth of the Arthur River. Image description: A cloudy sky of orange, pink and red glows upon the wild surface of the sea as waves and whitewash roll ashore. Upon the beach in the foreground is a tangle of silvery-grey driftwood.
