A few weeks ago we drove along the Great Ocean Road, where the limestone plateau of western Victoria falls into the sea, leaving behind remnant limestone stacks, arches and gorges. As we drove from the western end back towards Melbourne we didn’t quite make it as far as the famous 12 Apostles (or however many are left standing) but there were plenty of coastal features still to see.

Loch Ard Gorge, named after a ship which was wrecked within the bay many years ago.

At the far western end of the Great Ocean Road the limestone cliffs eventually become beaches with steep dunes.

There used to be another limestone arch forming a natural bridge between the main cliff on the left and the island on the right but it fell into the sea and the sight is now known as London Bridge.

Travelling the Great Ocean Road in the cooler months and on a grey overcast day meant there weren’t too many tourists to get in the way of your photos.
