About Tessellated Pavement

The Tessellated Pavement, found on the Tasman Peninsula in Tasmania, is a remarkable geological formation that resembles a tiled floor. This unique natural wonder consists of flat rock surfaces separated by deep, straight cracks that create the appearance of a man-made pavement. The site is easily accessible and offers visitors the opportunity to witness one of nature’s most intriguing creations. The Tessellated Pavement is a must-visit destination for those who appreciate fascinating geological formations and the rugged beauty of Tasmania’s coastline.

Tessellated Pavement History

The Tessellated Pavement has been shaped over millions of years through natural processes. The formation is made up of siltstone, which was laid down approximately 300 million years ago during the Late Permian period. Over time, natural forces such as water erosion and the rise and fall of sea levels led to the development of the unique patterns seen today. The site has long been a point of interest for both locals and visitors, who are drawn to the area for its unusual appearance and geological significance. The Tessellated Pavement is now part of the Tasman National Park, which helps protect and preserve this extraordinary natural wonder for future generations.
