The Twelve Apostles is a collection of limestone stacks near Princetown along the Great Ocean Road in Victoria, Australia.

The apostles were formed by erosion of the soft limestone to form caves in the cliffs, which then became arches, which in turn collapsed; leaving rock stacks up to 45 metres high. The site was known as the Sow and Piglets until 1922.

The 50-metre tall Apostle (front left) collapsed on 3 July, 2005. This image was captured prior to its collapse.

This site is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Victoria.
