The Great Ocean Road!

When we travel to Melbourne or to the snowfields, we do like to go along the coastline on highway 1. This coastline is famous for its ruggedness of cliffs and pounding seas and it is easy to imagine the dozens of sailing ships which were wrecked on this wild but extremely beautiful coast. The picturesque drive is enjoyed by many every year.

It's no wonder the sailboats perished on such a coastline.

Loch Ard Gorge, where the Loch Ard, an iron clipper, perished with a loss of 49 lives in 1878. There were only two survivors a man and a girl. The man climbed the cliff and found help at a nearby station.

Thunder Cave, where the waves come roaring in, echoing very noisy from the walls of the cave. This section is also known as the Shipwreck Coast.
