Attractions

The Twelve Apostles is a collection of limestone stacks off the shore of Port Campbell National Park, by the Great Ocean Road in Victoria, Australia.

One of Australia's most popular attractions all year round, never had 12 rock stacks despite the name "Twelve Apostles". "There were nine rock stacks at the beginning of the 21st century. Then at 9:18am on 3 July 2005, one of them collapsed. Another collapsed in 2009". (Parks Victoria)

Additional stacks—not considered part of the Apostles group—are located to the west within the national park.

View the 12 Apostles at sunrise and sunset as they change colour from dark and foreboding in shadow to brilliant sandy yellow under a full sun.
