[2025 Princetown Attraction] Travel Guide for Twelve Apostles Marine National Park (Updated Jun)

The limestone pillars were formed by the erosion of the cliff by wind and ocean waves until they became caves. Then the ceiling of the cave collapsed, leaving only 9 large limestone pillars. Now there are only 8 left because one pillar collapsed in 2005 from the waves that eroded the rocks every 2 centimeters per year. So we should come visit here before it all collapses. This is serious because the waves here are very high, strong and scary. Some people may wonder. Originally there were 9 pillars, so why did they name it 12? If we are to find out the real reason, it was named to make it sound cool and have a gimmick for tourism. The reason given is that the name came from the 12 disciples of Jesus who shared the Last Supper. Take that. It used to be called Sow and Piglets or The Pinnacles. When it became more popular, it was named 12 Apostles specifically for tourism. P.S. But the most beautiful viewpoint/photo spot that looks magnificent like something out of a sci-fi movie is Gibson Step, a walkway connecting the 12 Apostles for about 1.2 km. to take photos of the stone pillars from below (if you can't walk, you can drive). It's very beautiful, the most beautiful in the trip, 100% natural, unadorned. But you can't go down all the time, you have to watch the high and low tides. It's a blessing to be able to go down. This photo is only 5/10 from the real thing you see. #australia #victoria #melbourne #greatoceanroad #12apostles #twelveapostles #flytravelwithtrip

#visitmelbourne It’s my first time visiting Melbourne, and I had a really great time in enjoying all sorts of fresh seafoods (🦀🦞🦐 and of course not mentioning the 🦪). You may check out the price from South Melbourne Market as I find it slightly cheaper than others. The beef is so fresh in Australia and I would like to recommend ‘YOMG’ - Yo My Goodness to all, and the burger is super yum and very filling. The Best 🍔 burger I have had so far😋 #nomnom

The Twelves Apostles is a famous natural landmark along the Great Ocean Road in Australia. It’s a collection of limestone rock stacks that stand majestically off the southern coast of Australia. Originally formed through erosion over millions of years. Due to relentless forces of wind & ocean waves, the softer limestone layers got eroded away, leaving behind the impressive stacks we see today. The Twelves Apostles offer a breathtaking sight, especially during sunrise & sunset timing. There are several viewing platforms & walking trails to enhance the viewing experience here. The Twelves Apostles are located within Port Campbell National Park, and is also walking distance to another landmark - Gibson Steps. #wecreate #australia #darwintravel
