Great Ocean Road–Limestone Formations

We’ve started along the Great Ocean Road, stopping frequently to view the stunning limestone formations, including Bay of Islands, London Bridge and Loch Ard Gorge. We camped at Princetown and walked back along coast to the Twelve Apostles; this gave us tremendous views of the coast, which you cannot see from the road.

One of the outcrops is a breeding ground for mutton birds (short-tailed shearwaters). They breed here but fly 15,000 km to Alaska during the Australian winter. Many don’t make it as we saw on many of the Pacific coast beaches with many washed ashore in a ragged heap.
