Rumor has it.
Here’s a tip: If/when you drive the Great Ocean Road… hit the attractions in order. Otherwise, you’ll be staring at very similar photos with a confused look on your face while you simultaneously consult maps to figure out which rocks go where. Really.
Instead of doing things the easy way, Mike and I skipped a few spots and went back to catch them the next day. Now that it’s ahem… four months later, it makes things difficult.
But here we are. The next rock formations we stopped to see were The Arch (self explanatory) and London Bridge.
Actually, we were about 23 years too late to visit London Bridge. In 1990 half of the bridge decided that a few million years of standing was long enough. It collapsed into the sea and left a sightseeing couple stranded on the other half, surrounded by ocean. The pair had to wait a few hours to be rescued via helicopter. (Seriously, that’s an amazing vacation story!) We were told a rumor that the couple were actually engaged in an affair and were outed on the national news. I even think we were told the couple was in the nude (honestly, I could have added that in myself because seriously?). A little google search took me to this Australian myth-busting website that lists the rumor as “Undecided.” How interesting…
Supposedly London Bridge is now referred to as London Arch… but I don’t think that’s in everyday use. Everything I saw still referred to it as a bridge.
xo, jill
those photos are UN. REAL. so jealous.
Thank you! I’d say the subjects did all the work.
Love the story about the stranded couple. I wonder where they are now…
By the way loving the new banner!

I know. What an awesome claim to fame… I mean, assuming they really weren’t naked or anything!
And thank you!
