    London Bridge

    Early in the morning, we set off for our first stop: one of the Great Ocean Road's most storied natural wonders — London Arch. Once a natural stone bridge spanning the ocean, it has been sculpted by waves and time into a magnificent arch, bearing witness to the power of nature and moments of history. Overlooking the deep blue Southern Ocean, with the sound of waves crashing against the cliffs, this breathtaking sight sets a dramatic and unforgettable tone for the day's journey.
