    One of these astounding rock formations is the Razorback, whose name comes from its jagged, narrow aesthetic. One of the most awe-inspiring natural landmarks in the Port Campbell National Park

Great tour! James was a fun guide. Quite a drive + long day. Worth it, but I think one or two stops could be cut short. Overall enjoyed it.
