Tasmanian mountain feature?

Question

I am going to Tasmania and an old friend (now dead) from that island once told me of a mountain side that looks like a skull's face - I have already tried the official tourist web sites - no joy.

Any one know of this - he did say it was not well known (but that was 50 years ago).

I have done a lot of internet searching (Yahoo not Google!) and I have read guides to Tasmania in the library all to no avail. My friend, a great hiker, did say this was a hidden treasure but I am hoping to find someone who has found it themselves.

Mount Rushmore is, of course, in North America so the wrong hemisphere twice!

Answer 1

Hi there, I lived in Tasmania for 21 years.... i lived in an area called Seven Mile Beach, if u walk around the western cove round to the point u will come accross MAN ROCK, this is the closest thing I can think of... I did a lot of rock climbing and adventuring and never saw anything else. This MAN ROCK looks like a face... you can only walk there and it is about 1km walk from the nearset road... have fun in Tas... M@

Answer 2

I've been to Tasmania but never heard of a mountain side with a skull's face.

Since u r going to Tasmania, try these place instead. They r awesome!!!
1. Dove Lake
2. Cradle Mountain
3. Cradle Valley
4. The Nut ( at Stanley)
5. The Gorge ( at Launceston)
6. The Wine Glass Bay ( at Freysnet National Park)

Enjoy!!!

Answer 3

A skull was found at Mount Pygmy-possum in Tasmania many years ago, the only mountain I have ever heard of with a skulls face is Mount Rushmore in America.

Answer 4

My husband has lived in Hobart Tasmania all his life and says he knows of no mountain the looks like a skulls face. However, when you get to Tassie, look us up. Davis on Edward Street in the Glebe Hobart
