==Features==
The Port Campbell National Park features an array of sheer cliffs overlooking offshore islets, rock stacks, gorges, arches, and blow-holes.<ref name="port" /> As part of the ''Shipwreck Coast'',<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2002/11/22/1037697863828.html|title=A vision splendid|date=23 November 2002|access-date=17 June 2010|work=The Sydney Morning Herald}}</ref> it hosts several tourist attractions; including [[The Twelve Apostles, Victoria|The Twelve Apostles]], the [[London Bridge (Victoria)|London Bridge]], [[Loch Ard Gorge]], the [[Gibson Steps]], and [[the Grotto, Victoria|The Grotto]].

The park is subject to salt-laden breezes, and the cliff-tops are particularly exposed to the harsh weather conditions from the [[Southern Ocean]]. However, fragile grasslands and heaths are still able to develop, supporting plant species such as [[sun orchid]] and [[Caladenia|spider orchid]]. In protected areas, plant life includes [[beard-heath]], [[Tetragonia implexicoma|bower spinach]], [[coast daisy bush]], daisies and cushion bush. The wilder terrain hosts an assortment of she-oaks, [[dogwoods]], correa, [[messmate]], trailing guinea-flower, woolly tea-tree and scented [[paperbark]].<ref name="port" />

The fauna in the park is largely [[ornithological]]; and includes [[honeyeaters]], southern emu and fairy [[wrens]], swamp harriers, rufous bristlebird, [[peregrine falcons]], [[pelicans]], ducks, black swans and egrets. [[Penguins]], terns and dotterels are located along the shoreline, with hooded plovers nesting in exposed locations. Australasian gannets, wandering albatrosses and short-tailed [[shearwaters]] live out at sea. Land animals in the park include southern brown bandicoot, swamp antechinuse and echidna.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.theage.com.au/travel/travel-factsheet/port-campbell--places-to-see-20081120-6c0u.html|title=Port Campbell – Places to See|access-date=17 June 2010|work=The Age}}</ref>
