I was there only recently in May, during a short holiday in Victoria. It looks so different to what I videoed, now that the arch has collapsed.

It appears as though most of the upper arch was composed of soft sand and soil, which are being washed away rapidly by the sea.

And only a small amount of rock (probably sandstone/limestone) is left between the two columns. No doubt that material will be eroded very quickly by the sea, and then all traces of this arch will be gone forever !
