Port Campbell - Victoria
Port Campbell is a lovely seaside tourist town on the Great Ocean Road. It is a popular tourist destination due to its close proximity to the Twelve Apostles, Gibson Steps, Loch Ard Gorge, The Grotto, London Bridge and other scenic coastal attractions.
Wander around town and enjoy the cafes, restaurants, hotel, brewery and speciality shops. Port Campbell is 260 kilometres west of Melbourne via the Great Ocean Road.
Port Campbell beach is surrounded by Norfolk Pines and sheltered by high limestone cliffs and is one of the few safe places to swim along the Great Ocean Road. The grassy foreshore area is a lovely spot for a picnic or to relax and watch the waves.
There is also a great walking track from the beach, over the swinging bridge, to the scenic lookout.
The Port Campbell Information centre has an informative shipwreck display and information about the many attractions in the area.

The London Bridge, also called the London Arch, was formed over hundreds of years. The wind and sea eroded and separated it from the mainland. Today you can view it and the stunning coastline from two viewing platforms a short walk from the carpark.
