The Twelve Apostles

The Twelve Apostles is the name given to a collection of natural limestone pillars standing just offshore in the Port Campbell National Park, on the Great Ocean Road in Victoria (Australia). The pillars have been formed by erosion, and are varying heights and thicknesses. A number have fallen over entirely as their bases are being continually eroded by the force of the waves. There are not actually twelve pillars, but their close proximity to one another has made the site a popular tourist attraction.
