About Port Campbell National Park

Port Campbell National Park
 

Port Campbell National Park, located along the Great Ocean Road in Victoria, Australia, spans a stunningly rugged stretch of coastline famous for its limestone formations created by erosion. The park is home to the Twelve Apostles, towering limestone stacks rising majestically from the Southern Ocean. This dynamic coastal environment is shaped by the relentless forces of wind and seawater, forming sheer cliffs, deep gorges, and rock arches like the London Arch and Loch Ard Gorge. The park's unique ecosystems support diverse wildlife, including seabirds like the Australian gannet and the peregrine falcon. History enthusiasts find the park rich in maritime history, with several shipwrecks embedded along the treacherous Shipwreck Coast. The park offers ample opportunities for photography, hiking, and breathtaking scenic drives, attracting numerous visitors seeking the visual drama of nature's artistry.
