Take a Trip to Twelve Apostles on your Australia Vacation

The Twelve Apostles is a collection of limestone stacks along the Great Ocean Road in the state of Victoria. The limestone was deposited 20 million years ago and eventually eroded into caves and then stacks. The Twelve Apostles was originally named Sow and Piglets, and the more attractive-sounding name led to a spike in visitors to the natural formation.

The Twelve Apostles Visitor Centre is the starting point to get to the Twelve Apostles. A tunnel will take you under the Great Ocean Road to a boardwalk and viewing platforms. You cannot see all 12 stacks at once. There are seven rock stacks to the west, while the rest are hidden by headlands. Two rock stacks lie to the east and can be viewed at beach level through a car park to the east of the Twelve Apostles. The coastal scenery is spellbinding, and if you stay past sunset, you can see penguins returning to their burrows below the lookout. The lookouts are open from dawn to dusk all through the year.
