One of the most well-known highlights of the Great Ocean Road is
The Twelve Apostles. Situated in the Port Campbell National Park,
the massive limestone structures that tower 45 metres above the
tempestuous Southern Ocean, leave its visitors awe-struck in wonder
at their size and beauty. Behind the eight remaining stacks (five
have fallen since their discovery) are majestic cliffs, around 70
metres high.
Glorious at both dusk and dawn the Twelve Apostles, by the
forces of nature has gradually eroded the softer limestone, forming
caves in the cliffs which became arches and when they collapsed,
rock islands as high as 45 metres were left isolated from the
shore.
Stop and visit the Twelve Apostles Centre before taking the walk
to view the amazing Twelve Apostles coastline. The Centre offers
insightful cultural heritage stories, shelter and toilets. Walk the
short distance (500m) through the tunnel, under the Great Ocean
Road to various lookouts offering expansive, breathtaking
views.
