Tessellated Pavement

The Tessellated Pavement is where the rock surface has been split into regular "tiles". It has a tiled or mosaic-like appearance. It is another area of columnar basult, but instead of the vertical faces being visible as at the Organ Pipes, the horizontal faces are visible - you can walk and climb over them. The coloums tend to be hexagonal, but many have sides of unequal length and there may be from four to eight sides on each column.
