This weathered hollow limestone formation is one of the most evocative and intimate of the coastal formations of the Great Ocean Road. Part-blowhole, part-archway, part-cave, its serene rock pools and smooth boulders frame the sea views on offer.

Comments

Another walk first completed in 2009 and then again in 2024 that has never been recorded.
Well worth the 25m climb down to look through the water filled grotto and the ocean 10m further below.
