Great Ocean Road, Bay of Martyrs
The Bay of Martyrs is part of the Bay of Islands, characterized by its bay and numerous oceanfront cliffs. The Bay of Martyrs features a beach area where visitors can walk down to the shore. It is a quiet and incredibly beautiful beach.
The term 'Martyr' means someone who suffers or sacrifices. This place is named the Bay of Martyrs due to a tragic story where many Aboriginal people were killed by European settlers who had recently arrived in Australia.
