Loch Ard Gorge Great Ocean Road Australia Attractions

The Loch Ard Gorge is a visible example of the process of erosion in action.

It's named after the shipwreck of a clipper ship named Loch Ard which ran aground on Nearby Muttonbird Island on June 1, 1878 from a 3-month journey starting from England to Melbourne. Two people, Pearce & Carmichael survived out of the 51 onboard. Pearce was washed ashore and rescued Carmichael before proceeding to climb out of the gorge to alert patrolists to do a rescue attempt.

Who does maintenance in the middle of the day

Well, bitbucket.org, for one:

fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

Bitbucket is currently in the middle of moving data centers and will be unavailable up to six hours starting from Sunday, July 07, 2013 at 19:00:00 UTC.

Why so long? It will take a few hours to finalize the replication between the two data centers before we can bring up the new location. Once the synchronization is complete, we will bring the new location up and perform a series of integrity and performance tests to assure the new hardware is ready to go before making it publicly available.

Thanks for your patience as we work to increase Bitbuckets performance and reliability. Please contact us support@bitbucket.org if you have any questions about or during the migration or read our blog detailing everything youd want to know about the move.
