Australian The Twelve Apostles is
a collection of limestone stacks off the shore of the Port Campbell National
Park, by the Great Ocean Road in Victoria, Australia. Their proximity to one
another has made the site a widespread visitor attraction. Presently there’re
eight apostles left but the name remains important and remarkable especially in
the Australian tourism industry. The apostles were formed by erosion due to the
harsh and extreme weather conditions from the Southern Ocean gradually eroded
the soft limestone to form caves in the cliffs, which then became arches, which
in turn collapsed; leaving rock stacks up to 45 metres high. Now because of
this erosion there’re less than ten remaining.
