Description

Port Campbell National Park is a stunning natural attraction in Victoria, Australia.

It covers an area of 1,750 hectares and is located approximately 190 kilometers south-west of Melbourne. The park is adjacent to the Great Otway National Park and the Bay of Islands Coastal Park, making it an essential stop on the Great Ocean Road. Visitors can experience a range of natural wonders, including limestone cliffs, offshore islets, rock stacks, gorges, arches, and blowholes. Since then, its area has grown to 1,750 hectares and extends from Curdies Inlet to Point Ronald.

The Twelve Apostles, a collection of towering limestone stacks, is the park's most renowned attraction. Other notable landmarks include the London Arch, Loch Ard Gorge, the Gibson Steps, and The Grotto. The park's coastal location exposes it to salt-laden breezes and harsh weather conditions, but this unique environment supports a variety of native flora and fauna.

The park is home to plant species such as sun orchid, spider orchid, beard-heath, bower spinach, coast daisy bush, and cushion bush. The fauna includes honeyeaters, southern emu, fairy wrens, swamp harriers, rufous bristlebird, peregrine falcons, pelicans, ducks, black swans, egrets, penguins, terns, dotterels, hooded plovers, Australasian gannets, wandering albatrosses, and short-tailed shearwaters newline.
