The Natural Bridge
Torndirrup National Park, Western Australia
Visit the Gap, another
ancient rock formation a few metres away.
Watch
the video below
to get a feel for how spectacular this place is.
The Natural Bridge is a granite formation
caused by the gradual wearing away of the rock by the Great Southern
Ocean.
The natural bridge formation is a reminder of the power of the
ocean. Over time, the ocean has carved a bridge into the rock face.
It is clear to see exactly how as the waves came rolling across
the sea and into the hole it has created. Splash!!!

When the sun is high in the sky you can frequently see double rainbows on the mist. Truly amazing. We all loved our visit.
Always stay on the footpaths and behind the guard rails as this part of the coastline is particularly dangerous. Large waves and swells frequently hit this coast without warning. Watch children at all times.
The Blowholes
The Blowholes are crevasses in the granite stretching down to sea level far below. With each wave the 'holes' blow air and water up the channel Visit the The Blowholes
