The sheer cliff edges that are a feature of the Great Ocean Road where formed over thousands of years of erosion of the soft sandstone. Water overflows are found in a small number of locations, and rarely flow - requiring extended periods of heavy rain to saturate the ground. Only then will the water find its way to the edges of the cliff.
The first overflow event of 2018 was accompanied with intense winds. As the water built to the point of flowing over, the sheer force of the wind was so strong that the water, that would normally have fallen to the Southern Ocean, was instead vaporised into a mist and blown back up the cliff and into the air.
Known as a reverse waterfall, this phenomeum was just amazing to watch, even standing in the biting cold wind and driving rain. Mother nature is truely amazing.
