The Great Ocean Road, Australia

The homeward view of "The Twelve Apostles" in Victoria, Australia...

The gap between to two land masses is where the "London Bridge" once spanned. It apparently crashed into the ocean about 15 years ago, stranding a couple on the land mass on the right.

 

The collapse, and subsequent rescue, was well-covered by the local news channels... News copters blanketed the couple with close-up coverage as they waited for rescue teams to arrive.

 

It turned out that the couple shouldn't have been together on that rock -- since both were married to other people.

Where the cargo ship, The Loch Ard, sunk about 100 years ago. Two of about 30 passengers survived the mishap.

Our final view of "The Twelve Apostles" before heading home for the day.

The end of our day on "The Great Ocean Road" -- just 3.5 hours from Melbourne.

 

William Ackerman's "The Last Day at the Beach" repeated itself in my mind as I descended for a closer look at The Twelve Apostles.
