Wreck Beach

A bit to the south of the Twelve Apostles lies wreck beach - a small portion of the Shipwreck Coast. At the end of a small gravel road (the sort they tell you NOT to drive your rental car down, but you do anyway), is a walk down a bluff, and over a period of two bays you find two shipwrecks - the Marie Gabrielle and the Fiji.

Don't come at high tide though - you might get traptured - and that's not good. There is a reason they called this the shipwreck coast... in particular because so many drowned being trapped at the bottom of a cliff.
