Loch Ard Gorge is a natural formation located on the Great Ocean Road in Victoria, Australia. It is named after the ship "Loch Ard", which ran aground near the gorge in 1878. The gorge is part of the Port Campbell National Park and is a popular tourist destination.

The gorge features towering limestone cliffs that surround a narrow beach and a small sheltered cove. The gorge has several rock formations, including two prominent rock stacks named Tom and Eva, which were named after the only two survivors of the Loch Ard shipwreck. Visitors can explore the area via a network of walking trails and boardwalks that offer stunning views of the surrounding cliffs and coastline.

Loch Ard Gorge has a rich history and is an important site for both natural and cultural heritage. The area is home to a variety of native plants and animals, including seabirds, wallabies, and echidnas. The site is also significant to the local indigenous communities, who have lived in the area for thousands of years and consider it to be a sacred place.
