FRIDAY 6.1.2012: We made our way back to Dunalley and en route viewed the Tessellated Pavement. The Tessellated Pavement is an inter-tidal rock platform - from before 290 to 265 million years ago muddy sediments built up, sea ice or icebergs transported rocks into the basin, and shellfish died and were preserved in the siltstone. The surface of the Tessellated Pavement has embedded stones of different types, showing they were derived from distant places. They settled into the silt when the floating ice that carried them melted.
On the return visit to the Freedom Camp behind the Dunalley Hotel we were entertained by our small feathered friend!
