Oceania Road, one of the most beautiful coastal roads in Victoria, which receives 5 million visitors a year, is now in crisis.
In addition to the 12 disciples who have been said to have been eroded by the wind and waves over the years, there is now a greater crisis that coastal roads are corroded by sea water, and that large-scale collapses took place last year and the year before.
Above, a parking lot in Apollo Bay was photographed in June last year.
The main reason for this is the rising sea level after global warming and the erosion of the sea water on the shore.
A similar situation took place on the coastline of the entire Ocean Road.
Experts warned the government that there could be more ground collapsing within five years if it didn't step in.
Experts suggest that what can be done now is to install walls in specific areas to prevent seawater from corroding nearby roads.
At that time, the road was built by veterans involved in World War I, and the goal was to build as close to the sea as possible.
But unexpectedly, now too close to the sea has become a worry.
After all, we don't want to wait until 50100 to find out that the ocean road is like this.
In the case of seawater corrosion, the state government has set up a special department to oversee Oceanic Road, but the collapse of the past two years has seen the situation get worse and worse unless strong protection measures are taken immediately.
