Smashed into pieces

The pounding of waves has carved the cliffs on the coast of Victoria into one of Australia’s most iconic natural wonders. The Twelve Apostles are breaking apart, but over time many more will join them.

    I was there 10 years ago. Quite a wonder isn’t it?! Beautiful capture John.

  • John Spies replied

    I saw them for the first time a couple of years ago, wanted to stay a week, but only had a night. A long walk along that beach was very enticing…next time

    Awesome shot John, wonder how long this one will last, three in the last few years collapsing doesn’t bode well.

  • John Spies replied

    Wait a few mill and there will be plenty more, but a real shame about the arch, it was a fantastic natural sculpture. S’pose its good for the people who took the best shots of it though, they are now historical treasures.

    I remember walking out onto London Bridge as a little tacka that’s certainly a fond memory. Even then I remember the huge crack forming on one end thinking how long will that last.
