Australia is disappearing in the wonders of the world, it is too late to go.
Speaking of "Twelve Apostles" The first thing that comes to mind naturally is the "twelve disciples" recorded in the Bible. It is said that the number of "twelve" has a special meaning, as if the Old Testament had twelve Israel. There are twelve gates in the New Jerusalem, twelve angels on the door, twelve foundations on the wall, and so on, as if to prove that this is a different number from the others. In Melbourne, Australia, there is the existence of this twelve disciples.
Melbourne's Twelve Apostles actually refers to the Twelve Apostles, which is located on the Great Ocean Road in Victoria Island, Australia, in the Port Campbell National Park. We started from Melbourne by car, and it took about 3 hours to walk along the Great Ocean Road. The Twelve Apostles are actually 12 sandstones on the Pacific Ocean, because after thousands of years of baptism of the waves and sea breeze, because the number and form are similar to the twelve disciples of Jesus, it is called the twelve disciple.
Because of the erosion of day after day, the earliest "twelve disciples" are only seven and a half now. Some people say that this is a gift on the most beautiful road in the world. It is nature giving people If you don't look at it anymore, one day you will lose it. Just like no one knows, the day when the fire in Notre Dame in Paris will happen, the landscape here will suddenly collapse. So be sure to hurry up time~
It is said that the most recent collapse occurred in 2005 when a little boy and his parents witnessed the moment of the collapse, the last second of the rock still perseverance in Neri, It can be as short as 35 meters in the next second. Research scholars have said that the wonders here will all disappear one day. The moment you see is actually history.
Finally, in addition to self-driving, you can also choose to take a helicopter, but there are many people, you must make an appointment in advance, and consult the corresponding price, about 20 minutes, a few hundred Australian dollars.
Absolutely loved this place. Despite it being very windy and cold (see 3rd photo for the reality) it is an incredible spot for sunset in the middle of summer. It gets super busy as it is a tourist hot spot and when it’s a clear summer night you need either need to be patient for a photo or just embrace the insane natural scenery. Parking is free unless it has changed since I have been there (January 2023).
Nice places to visit in Melbourne away from the city. highly recommended to visit!!!
The Great Ocean Road, the Twelve Apostles, is a visual feast. The car flies, the sea breeze blows, and the wind is like blue ribbons dancing. In the distance, the Twelve Apostles Stone is like a spirit guarding the sea, standing in the sea, telling the story of the millennium. Here, every moment is scenery, every step is full of poetry. The blue ocean dream is picturesque and intoxicating.
A helicopter can sit 7 people plus a pilot, and there is nothing to see in the middle of the back row. The position on the side of the front row is the best. If the weather is good, the whole flight view is very good, there are different itinerary to choose from.
marvellous wonder of nature!! spectacular view even though there’s strong wind at the view deck.
