Apostles Cave

Ern Mainka

Apostles Cave

Looking out from a cave on an eroding peninsular which will eventually become another free standing stack (or apostle). One step further back and it’s a very high plunge into the ocean. This section is now closed to the public due to erosion and obvious safety reasons. Taken c 1980.

‘The Twelve Apostles’, Great Ocean Road coastline, Port Campbell National Park, Victoria, Australia.

    I wasn’t aware they were ever accessible. How fantastic!!
    Another fave for me Ern. I found you around 1.30am. It’s now 2.45am, and if I don’t come to the end of your portfolio soon, I’ll see the sun rise. :-/
