Loch Ard Gorge and Bay of Islands




This particular gorge is named after a catastrophe.
Fifty-two people died after a sailing ship, the iron clipper Loch Ard, rammed into the sheer cliffs of Muttonbird Island in stormy weather on 1 June, 1878, just days from completing a three-month voyage from England to Melbourne.

Great views all around, making it a perfect ending for our week end trip. Posted by Picasa
