Loch Ard Gorge, Coastal defile in Port Campbell National Park, Victoria, Australia
The limestone gorge extends into the ocean, featuring yellow cliffs that frame a secluded beach with clear waters and natural rock formations.
On June 1, 1878, the clipper ship Loch Ard wrecked near Mutton Bird Island, leaving only two survivors from the 54 passengers and crew members.
The two pillars at the former Island Archway received names Tom and Eva in 2009, commemorating the survivors of the Loch Ard shipwreck.
Visitors can access the beach through stairs and explore the eastern side of the gorge via a maintained pathway with informational plaques.
The new observation point under construction takes the form of a breaching whale, designed in partnership with the Eastern Maar Aboriginal community.
