Cape Pillar, Tasman Island: Cape Pillar is the jewel in the crown of the Tasman Peninsula’s colossal coastline, with cliffs rising to 300m high. Once out on the headlands of Cape Pillar, remarkable views expand north to other rousing capes. Cape Pillar also affords the best mainland view of Tasman Island and its towering cliff edges...Cape Pillar is a rural locality in the local government area (LGA) of Tasman in the South-east LGA region of Tasmania.

Cape Pillar Circuit, Tasmanie, Février 2019.
C’est à Hobart que je rejoins Shauna, une américaine vivant près des chutes du Niagara. Nous voyagerons ensemble pour mes deux dernières semaines en Tasmanie. Toutes les deux nous décidons de prendre la route au sud de l’île vers Port Arthur. Nous campons une première nuit dans un free camp dans le jardin d’un bar. Le lendemain direction le Cape Pillar Circuit, une randonnée de deux jours et trente-huit kilomètres. En chemin nous prenons deux auto-stoppeurs allemands, âgés de dix-huit ans, même projet. Nous passerons les deux jours ensemble. Le premier jour nous marchons à travers une forêt à moitié brûlée, dû aux feux de forêts ayant eu lieu quelques semaines plus tôt. Nous installons notre camp sur des sortes de grandes plateformes en bois surélevées. Nous ne prenons que le stricte nécessaire et partons vers le fameux Cape Pillar. Arrivée au bout du rocher « The Blade », je me sens libre, j’observe la mer se jeter contre les rochers. Passant du bleu foncé au blanc. Plusieurs images me viennent en tête ; celle du coton, des nuages ou même un bain moussant. Le lendemain nous repartons en route vers un autre rocher. Celui-ci est très vertical, droit, strict et agressif. Bien moins accueillant que le premier. Comme le « bien » et le « mal » à quelques kilomètres l’un de l’autre. Les plus aventureux iront même jusqu’à escalader ce pic.
Cape Pillar Circuit, Tasmania, February 2019.
It’s in Hobart that I meet Shauna, an American girl living close to the Niagara Falls. We will travel together for my last two weeks in Tasmania. Both together we decide to go to the south of the island close to Port Arthur. We camp a first night in a free camp situated in a bar’s garden. The day after, we take the direction to Cape Pillar Circuit, a two days hike and thirty-eight kilometers. On the road we take two German hitchhikers of eighteen, same project. The first day we walk through a half burned forest, came from the bushfires few weeks ago. We set up our camp in a big wooden platform. We take just water and go to the famous Cape Pillar. At the edge of the rock “The Blade”, I feel free. I contemplate the water petting the rocks. Arriving dark blue and becoming white. Some images come to mind; the cotton, the clouds or a bubble bath. The day after we start again to another rock. This one is really vertical, straight, strict and aggressive. Less hospitable than the first one. Like the “good” and the “evil” a few kilometers of each other. The most adventurous even climbed this peak.
I don’t often show what it’s like before standing up, so here you go. People ask me what I think about before I stand up and walk - you tell me what thoughts you think you think you’d have?! ⠀ ⠀ The Chasm of Cape Pillar, Tasmania⠀ @blackdiamond @gopro
