Shipwreck Coast and Loch Ard Gorge
Lorch Ard Gorge, Port Campbell National Park
4.6
Introduction
Located in the Campbell National Park, just a 10-minute drive from the Twelve Apostles, this place has had over 600 shipwrecks of all sizes due to treacherous terrain and swift waves. One of the most famous maritime disasters is the wreck of the Loch Ard, where only a 15-year-old boy and a 17-year-old girl survived, while everyone else perished. Despite hopes for a happy ending, they went their separate ways and continued their lives in different countries, leaving a sense of melancholy.
On sunny days, the scenery here is beautiful, with the azure sea creating a sense of vastness. If it weren't for the thunderous sound of waves crashing against rocks, it's hard to imagine that so many lives had been stranded here. The best time for photography is during clear mornings and evenings. Address Lorch Ard Gorge, Port Campbell National Park
