Blowhole at Flinders
A blowhole forms when sea caves extend inland and upward, creating vertical shafts that reach the surface. This allows seawater to be compressed hydraulically and released forcefully through an opening at the top. Unique photo opportunities exist with the blowhole and its surroundings.
