Day 11 began in Port Campbell and finished in Melbourne. The highlights along the way were the Loch Ard Gorge, the Twelve Apostles, and the sheer pleasure of driving (or being a passenger) along the Great Ocean Road.
Loch Ard Gorge was named after a shipwreck in 1878. Of the 54 souls on board only two survived. I believe the ship ran agroud on the rock shelf on the far left hand side of photo eight, below.
The Twelve Apostles were apparently previously named the “Sow and Piglets” with the island at the entrance to Loch Ard Gorge (on which the ship ran aground) being the sow, and the currently-named Apostles, the piglets.
