The Twelve Apostles
The Twelve Apostles is a collection of limestone stacks off the shore of the Port Cambell National Park, by the Great Ocean Road in Victoria
Port Campbell is a national park in Victoria, 190 km southwest of
Melbourne.
Originally the site was called
The Sow and Piglets
The name was changed in the 1950s to present the name recalling the biblical The Twelve Apostles
The others are located behind the rocky headlands of the Victoria coastline, or hidden by other rocky outcrops
From the lookout, you can only see a number of The Twelve Apostles
Other well-known stacks in Port Campbell National Park created by erosion are the London Arch, Loch Ard Gorge and the Island Archway
Sunrise and sunset offer particularly impressive views as the Twelve Apostles change colour from dark in shadow to brilliant sandy yellow under a full sun.
