Part 3/9:
Tasmania's northeastern coastlines are stunningly picturesque, where rocky headlands made of granite create pure white sandy beaches. The shoreline’s orange hues are attributed to microscopic lichens, which thrive there due to a symbiotic relationship between fungi and algae.
This region serves as a haven for various shorebirds, as well as migratory giants such as humpback whales. Recent research reveals that these whales stop in Tasmanian waters to feed on krill during their annual migrations, providing a vital nourishment source before they chart their course back to the Southern Ocean.
