The Razorback

The Razorback is yet another rock formation that one can view when visiting the Loch Ard Gorge precinct. It lies along the same path that takes one from the parking lot to Tom and Eva, and lies a further 5 minutes walk up the path.

 

The name is given to a limestone stack that stands in a cove that is constantly subjected to the forces of wind and water erosion of the Southern Ocean. The path to the vantage point of the Razorback forks into a loop. While approaching, the left fork will take one directly to the most direct vantage point to view the limestone stack. If you spend a few minutes watching the waves crash against the coastline, you will notice another cave forming in the cliff face, which is likely to one day form into a blow hole, or into another arch.

 

The right hand fork loops around the cliff top, and offers one a side view of Tom and Eva, and a view of Muttonbird Island.
