The Victorian coastline is believed to be the resting place for more than 700 ships that have wrecked there, one of these wreck sites is at Loch Ard Gorge. Located just a few minutes away from The Twelve Apostles, the Loch Ard Gorge is the site where in 1878, the ship Loch Ard ran aground, killing all but two passengers and crew members. The Loch Ard Gorge offers a great place to pay homage, relax, enjoy a swim, or a nice picnic.
