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.
Along the trail, come to the space under the bridge in the middle ring of the Suzhou River, as if in the colorful "animal world", Lock Park is the first choice for young people who love sports and fitness. For you who love basketball, football, skateboarding, Frisbee and other sports, provide a spacious and comfortable sports venue. More Suzhou River added a touch of vitality.
After shooting the sunrise, I went to make up for the Lockade Canyon that I didn't go yesterday. This is very close to the twelve apostles and does not charge tickets. There are several observation decks here, and the distance is relatively far. It is really laborious to walk. The scenery is not bad, it is worth a visit. After the car is parked in the parking lot, follow the road signs. There are wooden plank roads all the way. Don't worry about getting lost, just walk to the beach. The plank road is still safe, but the terrain is more dangerous, so don't go out of the plank road to take pictures. Remember that ensuring safety is the first. The panoramic view can be seen on the cliff, which is also spectacular. Then there are stairs to go down to the beach. The canyon is mainly two long mountains, stretching out to the sea, like two hands closed, leaving only a small mouth. A part of the Twelve Apostles Rock can be seen in the distance.
The most fun attraction on the Ocean Road. You can enjoy the scenery from a high place, enjoy the ghosts and craftsmanship of nature, or you can walk down the steps to the beach, step on the beach, and play the "waves chasing me" adventure. The waves are really big! Easy to get wet, play carefully.
A great place to stop along Great Ocean Road where you can come down to the beach to feel the sands and touch the waves. Beautiful coastline 👍 and it’s just few minutes away from the Twelve Apostles
Ocean Road, an important scenic spot, natural landscape, free of charge. It's not far from the Twelve-disciple Rock. People usually look at both scenic spots by the way. Early shipwrecks often occurred in nearby waters. Because of the special geographical environment, the underwater is full of reefs, and nothing can be seen when the sea is flooded. In addition, it is located at the intersection of the two oceans, where the wind and waves are strong and the nearby ships are grounded and sunken everywhere. In other places, scenic spots often hang a ship sketch map for tourists to visit, the most hanging here is the sunken ship sketch map. When I went there, I was caught up with clouds and strong winds and waves. I stood on the cliff and looked into the distance. The waves were rolling and dangerous. This is totally different from what I see on the coast of Melbourne or in China. This is determined by the unique topography of the area, which should be unique. I don't know if the weather is bad or not. There are not many people in the scenic area. They take photos casually, but they feel a little gloomy. Down the escalator to the beach, this is a three-sided mountain depression, suddenly calm. There were survivors of the wrecked ship who drifted here and took refuge here, feeling that it was a misfortune to be able to drift here.
Nature's steep cliffs, beautiful beaches, gentle sea breeze, crystal water, mysterious limestone, nature's mystery and magnificence are at a glance. Beauty is not only the wonder of nature's creation, but also the perseverance of the creator.
This place is purely run down, in fact, it is quite beautiful. When the waves rise, it feels that there is enough time to go down and stroll. It's only a few minutes'journey. There are not many tourists. If the wind is not strong, you can sit here very beautiful.
