March's Virtual Hike continues - Australia - Wreck Beach
I continued my travels along The Great Ocean Road to Wrecks Beach at Great Otway National Park. This coastal area is known as "The Shipwreck Coast" for a good reason.
From the parking area, it is a steep, 350 step descent to wild Wreck Beach. There the rusted anchors and various metal debris of the Marie Gabrielle and numerous shipwrecks can still be seen at low tide, a haunting reminder of the lives claimed by this treacherous stretch of water. More remnants are submerged in the deeper waters.
Park signs are posted along the beach warning visitors to - "Be aware of local and tidal conditions and be well prepared". Access to this beach is only at low tide.

The exploration and local history is another reason why I enjoy the concept of this painting group. We certainly live in a fascinating world!
