A path takes you right onto a cliff where you can observe them. The views are most stunning, particularly if the weather is clear. Sunsets would be particularly beautiful. It was misty the day we visited, but they still looked magnificent, and the misty conditions kind of added to the experience in a cool way.

There's a visitor center with bathrooms and an exhibit which explains what is happening here. The coastline is gradually eroding way. Apparently cliff faces erode at 2 centimeters a year. Sunset times here are approximately 9pm during the summer and 5:45pm during winter.

Fairy penguins can be seen on the beaches here shortly after sunset from a viewing platform. However I'd think that you'd need a well-lit night in order to see them very well.

Things to see and do:
Scenic drives along the Great Ocean Road, stopping at points of interest

Three self-guided walks at Loch Ard Gorge that introduce shipwreck history, geology, and coastal ecology.

Visit historic Glenample Homestead, where the two survivors of the Loch Ard shipwreck were taken after their rescue.

Watch the thousands of Muttonbirds (Short-tailed Shearwaters) that fly in to their nest burrows from the sea each evening in summer.

Swim or surf at Port Campbell. Snorkelling and scuba diving tours available.

Facilities:
There is no camping in the park, but there is a privately-run campground in Port Campbell. Port Campbell also has accommodation to suit every budget.

Vegetation
The park contains a wide range of remnant coastal vegetation types including important coastal heathlands, shrubby sand dunes, clifftop grasslands and shrublands, open forests, woodlands and swamps. Combined, these environments support a remarkable diversity of plants.

Due of the extensive depletion of native vegetation in the surrounding region, many plant species are of regional significance. Important plant species include the Swamp Greenhood, Clover Glycine, Square Raspwort, Lime Fern and Metallic Sun-orchid.

Fauna
Although relatively small and narrow, the park plays a vital role in fauna conservation in the region. It supports small populations of the Hooded Plover, a nationally significant species, as well as important populations of Rufous Bristlebird, Swamp Antechinus and Glossy Grass Skink.

Well-established tea-tree heathlands are important to the Rufous Bristlebird, while wetland areas provide food and nesting sites for the Australasian Bittern, Lewins Rail and Swamp Skink. Eastern Grey Kangaroos shelter in the denser vegetation of the park but frequently move into nearby farmland to feed.

Heritage
Aboriginal people knew this shore well and had cut steps down the sheer cliffs to gain access to marine food sources.

Photography:
Have lots of film! The sights are breath taking.

Final Note: Try to visit this site before the goventment builds a parking lot and visitors center. They say the plans will be unintrusive to the scenery but how can any building not intrude on open land?

This is my favorite place to visit!
