    Mutton Bird Island is home to thousands of wedge-tailed shearwaters, so called for their ability to cut or shear the water with their wings as they skim across the surface. It's a safe haven from introduced predators such as foxes and cats, when they migrate to the island from September until April during breeding season. Early settlers called them Mutton birds because of their fatty mutton-like flesh.

    London Bridge is a significant tourist attraction along the Great Ocean Road near Port Campbell in Victoria. This stack was formed by a gradual process of erosion, and until 1990 formed a complete double-span natural bridge before it collapsed. Moments before the collapse 2 sightseers had crossed and were stranded on the sea end of the rock.
