The Twelve Apostles

As you can see, we got caught in the rain when we arrived on Friday, July 1, at The Twelve Apostles in the Port Campbell National Park along the Great Ocean Road. These imposing figures were caused by erosion of the limestone cliffs.

The Australian Herald Sun newspaper reported today (Sunday, July 3) that another of the Twelve Apostles crashed into the sea this morning. Here is the breaking news story:

"ANOTHER of the famous Twelve Apostles limestone structures off Victoria's coast has collapsed, leaving only eight still standing. One of the giant structures off the Great Ocean Road coastline was claimed by the ocean about 9am today," Parks Victoria spokesman Alex Green said.

"If you're standing on the boardwalk on the clifftop (looking out) at The Apostles, it's the second apostle (on the left)," he said.
