Gardiner Point

Wild and desolate coastline at "The Edge of the World", the longest uninterrupted expanse of ocean on earth. Gardiners Point, South of the Arthur River, Tasmania, Australia.

Gardiner Point is Tasmania’s official "edge of the world": the sea here stretches uninterrupted all the way to Argentina, 15,000km away over the wild seas. There’s a plaque at the point and the stunningly jagged coastline is smothered in logs washed in by the Southern Ocean. It's a great place to take those leaning-into-the-wind, world’s-end photos.
