Lewan_Diary.

The Great Ocean Road is located in southwest Melbourne, Australia. It is a 320-kilometer-long, world-famous coastal road. 2 km from the Twelve Apostles, there is a beautiful canyon called Loch Ard Gorge. On June 1, 1878, a British ship named Loch Ard arrived on the way to Melbourne. They found land that could be docked, but did not land immediately, but broke down on the ground. Drinking and celebrating. Unexpectedly, the wind was overwhelming that night, the anchor cable was broken, and the ship hit the rocks. The sailing apprentice Tom flew to the shore of the canyon against the lifeboat nearby and then stunned. When he woke up, he found himself lying on the beach and heard a weak cry for help. Tom saved a girl Eva who was only 18 years old. There were 54 people in the shipwreck, and only two of them survived. Later, Tom was still determined to sail, and Eav was very grateful to Tom for his life-saving grace, but he was afraid that he would lose his loved ones again. He was unwilling to marry Tom, who insisted on continuing to be a seafarer. So, Tom died in another shipwreck a few years later, Eva. Unmarried for life, has lived to 80 years old. This story is mentioned in Eva in a book. In order to commemorate the shipwreck, the descendants named the place "Ruo Ade" Valley and built 52 graves.
