London Bridge (Victoria)

Natural arch in Victoria, Australia From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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

The span closer to the shoreline collapsed unexpectedly on the evening of Monday 15 January 1990,[1][2] sparking comparisons with the rhyme "London Bridge Is Falling Down" and leaving two tourists stranded on the outer span.[3] They were rescued by police helicopter,[4] and no one was injured in the event.
