Superb Fairy-wren

This male superb fairy-wren is probably one of the most beautiful birds I've seen. It is incredible how bright the colours are.

Tom and Eva

The history behind the Tom and Eva Lookout is quite a sad one. The two rocks are named after Tom and Eva, the only two survivors of a shipwreck. The Loch Ard clipper ship was sailing from England to Melbourne in 1878 when it ran aground in the shallow waters along this coastline. There were 54 people on board and only two survived. 19 year old Tom was an sailor’s apprentice, he jumped from the ship as it sank and swam to the shore. When he made it to land, he heard a woman shouting for help. Eva was in the water so he jumped in and dragged her to shore. She was an Irish woman emigrating to Melbourne with her family.

The Razorback

The Port Campbell National Park is world famous for its incredible limestone formations that have found their form after millions of years of erosion. Whether it’s the unique and majestic 12 Apostles, the picturesque Loch Ard Gorge or the surreal Grotto, this section of the Great Ocean Road is an unforgettable visit for nature lovers! One of these astounding rock formations is the Razorback, whose name comes from its jagged, narrow aesthetic. One of the most awe-inspiring natural landmarks in the Port Campbell National Park, the Razorback is easily accessible when viewing another one of the park’s wonders – the Tom and Eva rock formations.

Camel

Camels were first introduced into Australia from the Canary Islands in 1840. There are now over one million feral camels in Australia and that population may double in size every nine years. Feral camels are found across Central Australia and in the Victoria River District regions.
