Located approximately 275km west of Melbourne, the Twelve Apostles are a group of
limestone stacks off Port Campbell National Park. Situated approximately four hours' drive along Victoria's Great Ocean Road, their close proximity to each other have made these naturally occurring wonders a popular tourist attraction.
These amazing rock stacks offer a dramatic picture along the rugged coastline of Victoria and rise up out of the Southern Ocean to create a majestic splendour that has to be seen to be believed. Part of the major attraction of the Great Ocean Road, the Twelve Apostles are a must see attraction on any visit to Victoria.
The Twelve Apostles were created as a result of constant erosion of mainland limestone cliffs by the water and wind of the Southern Ocean. The process began around 10-20 million years ago and the harsh weather conditions gradually eroded the cliffs into caves which eroded further into arches and eventually collapsed, creating the stacks seen today.
