The Gap and the Natural Bridge are two awe inspiring natural features of the Torndirrup National Park.
Torndirrup National Park is named after the Aboriginal people who lived on the peninsula and in the Albany area. The area was gazetted as a national park in 1918; the first in Western Australia.
Three major rock types make up the Torndirrup peninsula, the oldest of which predates nearly all life on earth. Over time, the impact of the Southern Ocean on the coastal granite has formed:
- The Gap – an incredible spectacle of waves and natural force.
- The Natural Bridge – a naturally occurring rock sculpture in the shape of a massive and imposing bridge.
Location: Torndirrup National Park is located 10 kilometres south of Albany across Princess Royal Harbour. Albany is 417 kilometres south east of the city of Perth.
