Twelve Apostles Guide

The Twelve Apostles, a landmark of Australia's Great Ocean Road, are located in Victoria's Port Campbell National Park. They are a collection of limestone columns carved over millions of years by wave erosion. The best time to visit is at sunrise or sunset, when the golden sunlight intersects with the deep blue water, highlighting the magnificent silhouette of the columns. Driving is recommended for the most flexible transportation, reaching the destination in about 3.5 hours along the Great Ocean Road from Melbourne. Alternatively, you can join a Chinese-language day tour for a hassle-free experience. Must-dos include gazing at the columns from the main viewing platform and feeling the crashing waves; descending the 86 Gibson Steps to the beach for a close-up look at the columns' bases; and for those with a larger budget, taking a helicopter tour for panoramic views starting at around 145 Australian dollars. Nearby attractions such as Loch Ard Gorge and London Bridge can be combined with the tour. Note: Strong winds on the beach require a windproof jacket, and follow safety precautions to avoid approaching the cliff edges. Admission is free, but parking charges range from 10 to 12 Australian dollars per day. #JulyGoodDestinations2025

🚗✨ Driving Review: 12 Apostles – The Dream Route on the Great Ocean Road 🌊 One of the most memorable trips in Australia was driving along the Great Ocean Road from Apollo Bay to the 12 Apostles. 🏞️ 🌿 The route was filled with stunning sea views that made us stop every now and then, from cliffs to beaches and small villages along the way. 🌊 The highlight was the 12 Apostles — giant limestone columns in the middle of the ocean. While we didn't see all 12 today, seeing them with our own eyes gave us goosebumps at the sheer magnitude of nature. 📍 Along the way, there were other interesting stops, such as Gibson Steps, Loch Ard Gorge, and London Bridge, each equally charming. Driving yourself allows you to stop wherever you want, take photos, and fully experience the atmosphere. 🌅 Even more so at sunset…it's truly an unforgettable sight. 💙 ⸻ ✨ Summary: Anyone visiting Melbourne should definitely take the opportunity. Drive out of the city to see the grandeur of the 12 Apostles and you will realize that… nature is always greater than we think. 🌏💫
