London Bridge

London Bridge is a limestone arch rising off the coast in Port Campbell National Park, Victoria. The structure now stands isolated in the ocean after its connection to the mainland broke away, displaying the typical weathering patterns of the Great Ocean Road.

The formation originally carried the name London Bridge because of its double arch structure that mimicked a bridge. In January 1990, the landward arch collapsed unexpectedly, transforming the connection into an isolated sea stack.

The rock formation sits within traditional Gunditjmara territory, whose people lived along this southern coast for thousands of years. Locals today associate the site with the dramatic story of the collapse that led to its renaming.

Visitors reach the viewing area via a sealed walkway that runs directly from the car park to the protected platforms. Wind off the ocean can be strong, so a jacket is advisable in any weather.

When the middle section collapsed, two visitors were standing on the outer part and had to be rescued by helicopter. The incident happened without warning on a quiet January morning and became the most widely known example of the region's ongoing coastal erosion.
