London Arch
London Arch is a stunning natural rock formation that was once known as London Bridge due to its original arched structure. In 1990, one of its arches collapsed unexpectedly, leaving a dramatic single-span structure and stranding two visitors on the newly formed island until they were rescued.
As you can see below, London Arch used to be called London Bridge and it had an arch connecting it to the mainland. On the evening of 15 January 1990, this arch cracked and fell into the sea, leaving two very shocked tourists stranded on the outer section. A helicopter was called to rescue them.

King Parrots
These are my favourite Australian parrots. They are large and the male is very red. The more drab one is the female. I saw many of them along The Great Ocean Road.
