The Twelve Apostles - Another Perspective
The Twelve Apostles are a collection of limestack stacks just off the shore of Port Campbell National Park. The park is located on the Great Ocean Road, in the state of Victoria which is in the south-east of Australia.
The 12 Apostles were formed by waves eroding the limestone cliff face. First, the soft limestone erodes to form caves, which then became arches, and finally the arches collapse leaving massive limestone stacks up to 45 metres high.
The stacks themselves further erode and then eventually collapse. Although, called The Twelve Apostles, there were only ever 9 limestone stacks. After one of the stacks collapsed in 2005, 8 currently remain.
Even though I have now visited them several times, they still fill me with awe.
