The Twelve Apostles are one of Australia’s most iconic landmarks and a must-see gem of Victoria. These dramatic limestone stacks off the coast of Port Campbell National Park are absolutely impressive and unforgettable. Though there used to be nine stacks, one sadly crumbled in 2005, leaving eight towering majestically over the Southern Ocean. Even so, these natural wonders remain a breathtaking sight that never fails to inspire awe.
Formed over millions of years through relentless erosion, the Twelve Apostles have been shaped and reshaped by the powerful waves of the Southern Ocean. The ever-changing nature of these geological marvels means that each visit offers a fresh perspective and a new appreciation for their stunning beauty. Watching the waves crash against these towering pillars creates a mesmerizing contrast against the deep blue sea.
As Australia’s most famous coastal formation, the Twelve Apostles are clustered together, making them a prime spot for fantastic photos and a rad tourist experience. With well-placed viewing platforms, you can soak in the panoramic scenery and capture some epic shots. Plus, the surrounding area features walking trails that provide different vantage points, adding to the adventure. If you’re fascinated by history, it’s amazing to consider how these formations have evolved over time, and they make for some great stories to share.
