Damage to Castle Cove Lookout, Disappointing. Reg and I know this area well. We have been touring there together since 1968 and have many wonderful memories including the one where the London Bridge, famous landmark along the great Ocean Road, fell down the day after I walked across it. lol, something you remember. My mum told me she hiked the full length of the great Ocean Road, in the late 1920’s with a group of girlfriends. I had photos of here on the rocks by the ocean there. She had good memories of those times. Parks Victoria Rangers at Apollo Bay have been disappointed to discover that vandals had recently removed handrails at the popular Castle Cove lookout. Castle Cove Lookout was vandalised late at night last week when the handrails were removed. The handrails and viewing platform were only recently installed to protect the more than 650,000 visitors to the site each year from wandering off the track and potentially falling from the cliff. Parks Victoria takes the safety of National Park visitors seriously, and is alarmed that someone would remove such an important handrail. The details of the incident have been passed on to Apollo Bay Police. Vandalism is like acne on the landscape, we need solutions for acne. If anyone sees people damaging Vic Parks property they are asked to contact the Parks Victoria Information Centre on 13 1963 or Victoria Police. Comments Comments are closed. |
