The Twelve Apostles are one of Australia’s most famous natural icons.

You’ll be awestruck as you witness this collection of giant limestone rock
Formations majestically rise from the Southern Ocean.
Formed naturally over millions of years, the harsh weather conditions gradually eroded the soft limestone to develop caves in the cliffs, later collapsing and leaving rock stacks that reach up to 45 meters high.
Make sure you drop in to the Twelve Apostles Centre which showcases insightful facts and heritage stories, before taking the scenic walk to view the amazing coastline. If you’re lucky and the timing is right you can spot whales as they make their way along the coastline.
