Nearby Natural Wonders



A few months ago my mum showed me an article in the local paper about a place called London Bridge Arch. It's less than 30 minutes' drive from my house, yet I'd never heard of it.

Last weekend I finally got the chance to check it out, and by gosh it's impressive. Over (a lot of) time water leached this ol' hunk of limestone enough for the Burra Creek to find a way through, and what's left is an amazing natural bridge.


It was humbling to discover something so amazing that I'd never seen or even heard of before so nearby to where I live. It makes me think what other naturally-occurring spectacles I'm missing out on that may also be just over the hill or in the next valley over. I guess I have some more exploring to do.

  2. It looked even better on the other side, but sadly my phone ran out of battery so I couldn't take any more photos.
