The 12 Apostles by

The famous Australian Landmark, The 12 Apostles. A collection of limestone stacks, on the Great Ocean Road, Port Campbell National Park, VIC, Australia. Few have fallen down now, but the name remains the same. The name was changed in 1950 from Sow & Piglets, Muttonbird Island was the “Sow” and the little islands, or apostles now, were the “Piglets”.

This shot taken 10th May 2009, these formations change constantly.

Canon 50D, 40mm, 7:40am. Available Large!

    Absolutely fan tastic capture. have you thought about joiining “The Parks” group
    We have requirements for that the pictures be of a park and you have to put the park name, type (if it is state, city, or county) and where it is located.

  • Thanks very much for the group heads up Ann, appreciated :)
