Less than 5 km away after The Twelve Apostles is another coastal rock formation called the Loch Ard Gorge. This is named after the ship which rammed into the nearby Muttonbird island and wrecked in 1898. Only two survived, a young girl and a boy. They were washed up to a narrow gorge and crawled into a cave to shelter from the freezing weather and the rough seas.

Geology walk about 900 m (return) takes one to discover the secret forces that shapes this beautiful shorelines. Historical loop of 1.4 km walks you through the tragic story of Loch Ard Shipwreck. There are steep steps leading to the lowland of sandy beach area. Hear the roaring waves, see the rushing and receding water, feel the cooling breeze, at the same time watch out for the tide :) Living on the Edge is a stretch over 3.2 km, exposing the life of natural treasures - plants and animals near The Blow Hole, Thunder Cave and Broken Head.
