London Arch

London Arch is a natural arch in the Port Campbell National Park, Australia. The arch is one of the tourist attractions along the Great Ocean Road near Port Campbell in Victoria. This stack was formed by a gradual process of erosion, and until 1990 formed a complete double-span natural bridge.

The arch closest to the shoreline collapsed unexpectedly on 15 January 1990, leaving two tourists stranded on the outer part: they were rescued by a helicopter. Fortunately nobody was injured in the event. Prior to the collapse, the arch was known as London Bridge because of its similarity to its namesake.

Just 5-10 mins drive from Port Campbell, with some awesome photo opportunities in the evening. Used to be a double span arch resembling London Bridge, until the first arch collapsed in 1990.

Another fantastic place to visit along the Great Ocean Road. For photographers, you get the best light in the evenings.

One of many great scenic lookouts along the Great Ocean Road. Be sure to visit before the rest of the bridge comes crashing down.

Used to be a double span arch resembling London Bridge - until the first arch collapsed in 1990. London Bridge is falling down: literally.
