Gibsons Steps
The Gibson Steps are an area of cliffs on the south coast of Australia, located at 38°40′06″S 143°06′43″E. The cliffs are the first sightseeing stopoff in Port Campbell National Park for travellers heading West along the Great Ocean Road, located about 2 minutes drive from The Twelve Apostles. Beach access at Gibson Steps is via an 86 step staircase down the cliff face and is not suitable for strollers, wheelchairs or visitors with limited mobility. The Gibson Steps is one of many highlights on the Great Ocean Road in Victoria, Australia. They are located a couple of kilometers from the region’s major attraction, the Twelve Apostles. The Gibson Steps are a series of stairways leading down the cliffs on the Australian south coast and the first sightseeing stop in Port Campbell National Park for people traveling west. 86 steps lead down to the beach from the 30-meter-high clifftop. The Gibson Steps provide one of only a few access points to the beach along this spectacular cliff-dominated stretch of coastline. Descending is strongly recommended, but be aware that there is no wheelchair access and that people with limited ability are advised to stay at the top. People who get to the beach immediately feel dwarfed by the sheer size of the limestone cliff and the rock formations in the ocean. The enormous scale of natural sculpting that takes place there every day is humbling.
