NABSQNO 54H-680161-5720182. Island Arch is one of several large and photogenic sea natural arches, all in soft limestone, found at the Loch Ard Gorge area of Port Campbell National Park, Victoria, Australia. Access is via the Great Ocean Road, one of the most scenic drives in the world. Loch Ard Gorge is about 10 kilometers east of the town of Port Campbell. The area gets its name from the clipper ship, Loch Ard, that wrecked here in 1878.
Island Arch has an approximate span of 20 meters. It is probably the most photographed of this cluster of arches. Another photo of it, taken from the opposite side, can be found here. But some of the other arches in this cluster are as large and as photogenic. All of these others are unnamed except for Elephant Rock, which is just to the west of Island Arch and is the next selected arch.
