London Bridge

London Bridge

Description

London Bridge is a rock formation along the Great Ocean Road in Victoria characterized by an arch-like shape extending toward the ocean. The site features multiple viewing platforms that offer views of the shoreline and limestone cliffs shaped by wind and water over many years.

History

The structure was originally a large stone arch connecting the mainland to a rock island, shaped over many centuries by natural erosion. In 1990, the section linking it to the mainland suddenly collapsed, stranding two visitors who were later rescued by helicopter.

Culture

The site takes its name from the natural rock arch that once spanned across the water. Today it serves as a place where visitors can observe how the ocean shapes the land and witness nature's continuous transformation of the coastline.

Practical

The site is easily accessible with a smooth pathway to the upper viewing platform suitable for wheelchairs and prams. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear and dress for changeable weather, as the lower route is steeper and rougher, and the area can be windy and cold.

Did you know?

A small colony of around 80 to 100 penguins comes ashore at the protected beach below the viewing platforms at dusk, giving visitors a chance to see these tiny birds in their natural setting. During winter months, humpback and southern right whales also pass by during their migration.
