The place itself is amazing - the power of the water and the height of the surrounding cliffs. I remember this place as being fairly deserted, having not visited for around 30 years. On this visit the...
The best by far among all the natural wonders in great ocean road. Less crowd so more peaceful to go by the water and appreciate the beautiful scenery.
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.

Loch Ard Gorge is only about 2 km from the 12 disciples of the Great Ocean Road. So after 12 tourers, don't forget to continue westbound.
A few hundred meters walk from the parking lot, you can overlook the canyon, and the huge rock stands in the sea, which is very shocking. But don't think that's all. Just follow the trail to the beach and feel the magnificence of the rock up close. Moreover, the beach here is particularly delicate, and the surge in the bay is not very large. Consider swimming in the sun.
But there will be snakes in the nearby grass, or be careful, try not to go inside the grass.

After shooting the sunrise, I went to re-shoot the Rockard Canyon, which I did not visit yesterday. This one is very close to the Twelve Apostles and does not accept tickets. There are several viewing platforms here, all of which are far away. It's quite physically demanding. The scenery is not bad, it is worth a visit. After the car is parked in the parking lot, just follow the road signs. There are wooden plank roads along the way. Don't worry about getting lost, just walk to the beach. The plank road is still safe, but the terrain is more thrilling, so don't take pictures outside the plank road, remember, to ensure safety is the first. A panoramic view can be seen from the cliff, which is also quite spectacular. Then there are stairs to go down to the beach. The canyon is mainly two long mountains, stretched out to the sea, like two hands are closed, leaving only a small mouth. A part of the Twelve Apostles can be seen in the distance.
Rockard Canyon is one of the classic attractions on the Great Ocean Road. Located between the Twelve Apostles and the Gibson Steps, it also has a very magnificent landscape, which is very impressive. Personally think this is also a must-see attraction on the Great Ocean Road, recommended!
Rock Canyon is an attraction in the Port Campbell National Park. It takes the next steep slope to get close to the beach. In the evening, there are no group tourists here, but this time is the most amazing time here. You can see such a magnificent landscape and beautiful sunset from several nearby viewpoints, which dye everything around you golden , A few tourists scattered here seem to be exceptionally clean.
The most enjoyable attraction on the Great Ocean Road. You can watch the scenery from a high place and admire the wonderful work of nature, or you can walk down the steps to the beach, step on the beach, and play the adventure of "the waves chase me", the waves are really big! Easy to get wet, play carefully.
