Tasmania's landscape, its rocks and tectonic structures, is one of the most understood yet less celebrated aspects of the state by its population. It is so unique geologically that much of Tasmania's geology is closer to that found in the Antarctic region, or the USA's Arizona Grand Canyon than it is to mainland Australia.
This updated version of "Created from Chaos" is the definitive book that interprets 104 observable geological and "geoheritage" localities using understandable geological language. Features as old as the 1300 million year old rocks on King Island to the most recent coastal erosional effects at Ocean beach on the West Coast.
