Dramatic views @ Loch Ard Gorge 🌟

You may have heard of Great Ocean Road’s Twelve Apostles, but located just 12 minutes drive away is the Loch Ard Gorge - a hidden gem. Take the stairs down to the shore and stand between the enormous cliffs while getting a clear view down from the gorge. It is truly a surreal feeling to be standing where historical tragedies and miracles happen. And of course, the stunning views of the clear water are simply mesmerising.

loch ard gorge

#celebratewithtrip the next must visit during your great ocean road road trip would be the loch ard gorge. this is also one of my personal favorites. the good thing about this is you are up close and can take so many nice pictures over here. love the colors of the sea. it is quite sandy though so would suggest taking your shoes off if possible when walking. apparently there are a lot of tourists during the weekdays as well so it is quite impossible to take a picture without having someone in the background. nevertheless it is still nice and the picture turns out great. would recommend visiting and admiring this natural wonders.

Two Survivors

#celebratewithtrip One of the attraction when come to great ocean road in Australia. Its a next stop after 12 apostle. Beautiful erosion over million years by the sea, wine and sand! Great views with excellent picturesque opportunities. 100 meters walk from car park and then there's steep steps leading down to the gorge. The view is great. The cliff, ocean view, the warm sand. It’s just so relaxing. #melbourne

My favourite gorge along Great Ocean Road

#bucketlistreboot The Loch Ard Gorge is one of the best-loved stop-off points along the Great Ocean Road. It’s situated in the Port Campbell National Park and is just three minutes from the world-famous formation of the Twelve Apostles. The picturesque gorge is home to a smooth, pearlescent bay and an inlet of clear, blue water. It’s flanked by two yellow-washed cliff faces and tufts of vibrant greenery. Though it looks like something out of a storybook, Loch Ard isn’t just a pretty face. In fact, it has an interesting and colourful history that spans back hundreds of years. It was here that the Loch Ard, probably Victoria’s most famous shipwreck, was smashed against Muttonbird Island in 1878 with only two young survivors.

Wreck of Loch Ard

The Loch Ard Gorge is one of the popular stop-off points when driving down the Great Ocean Road. It is situated in Port Campbell National Park. In 1878, there was a shipwreck in Port Campbell and there were only 2 survivors who were washed ashore. The ship’s name was Loch Ard and that is how Loch Ard Gorge got it’s name. There are a few walking tracks which you can take to fully enjoy the beautiful nature settings at Loch Ard Gorge. I recommend the Loch Ard Wreck Lookout and the Mutton Bird Island Lookout for exceptional views and don’t miss out on the Wreck of the Loch Ard trail to learn more about the region’s history. #momentssg #nationalpark #australia

Loch Ard Gorge is only about 2 km from the 12 disciples of the Great Ocean Road. So after 12 tourers, don't forget to continue westbound. A few hundred meters walk from the parking lot, you can overlook the canyon, and the huge rock stands in the sea, which is very shocking. But don't think that's all. Just follow the trail to the beach and feel the magnificence of the rock up close. Moreover, the beach here is particularly delicate, and the surge in the bay is not very large. Consider swimming in the sun. But there will be snakes in the nearby grass, or be careful, try not to go inside the grass.

Stunning natural attraction

#australiatrip The Loch Ard Gorge is a stunning natural attraction and is part of Port Campbell National Park, Victoria, Australia.

Mysterious Loch Ard Gorge & 12 Apostles!

Loch Ard Gorge is an exceptionally beautiful place; where some mysteries of the shipwreck remain unsolved and how the foliage here had helped survivors. What’s so intriguing about this spot is that you get up close and be able to feel the 90% limestone 10% sandstone that makes up this landscape, and why its shape is ever changing, with the possibility that some of the apostles may disappear with time. I’d totally recommend to visit these spots soon before the future generations don’t get a chance to!

in awe!

A Drive To Remember

One of the places to stop by at Great Ocean Road. A long beautiful drive filled with breathtaking view. Stop by Lord Ard Gorge for photo-taking. Everything is mesmerising! Remember to pack warmly as it is breezy cold. #travel #melbourne #greatoceanroad

The Great Ocean Road is located in southwest Melbourne, Australia. It is a 320-kilometer-long, world-famous coastal road. 2 km from the Twelve Apostles, there is a beautiful canyon called Loch Ard Gorge. On June 1, 1878, a British ship named Loch Ard arrived on the way to Melbourne. They found land that could be docked, but did not land immediately, but broke down on the ground. Drinking and celebrating. Unexpectedly, the wind was overwhelming that night, the anchor cable was broken, and the ship hit the rocks. The sailing apprentice Tom flew to the shore of the canyon against the lifeboat nearby and then stunned. When he woke up, he found himself lying on the beach and heard a weak cry for help. Tom saved a girl Eva who was only 18 years old. There were 54 people in the shipwreck, and only two of them survived. Later, Tom was still determined to sail, and Eav was very grateful to Tom for his life-saving grace, but he was afraid that he would lose his loved ones again. He was unwilling to marry Tom, who insisted on continuing to be a seafarer. So, Tom died in another shipwreck a few years later, Eva. Unmarried for life, has lived to 80 years old. This story is mentioned in Eva in a book. In order to commemorate the shipwreck, the descendants named the place "Ruo Ade" Valley and built 52 graves.
