Melbourne's must-see attractions ✨ A must-drive in this lifetime ~ Melbourne Great Ocean Highway 🛣️ road trip one-day tour

#MelbourneGoodPlaces #12Apostles

The rocks standing in the azure ocean are of various shapes. Because their number and shape resemble the twelve disciples of Jesus, they are named "Twelve Apostles Rocks".

The Twelve Apostles are located along the coast of Melbourne, Australia, and are a famous landmark on Australia's Great Ocean Road. It takes about four hours to drive from downtown Melbourne along the Great Ocean Road. These twelve rocks on the surface of the South Pacific have been carved by nature into human faces after being washed by waves and ocean breezes. Their expressions are very different, some seem sad, some seem gentle, and it's amazing!

You can see the full view of the Twelve Apostles on the trail. The straight cliffs and the sea water gradually carved the huge rocks into the current Twelve Apostles. Seeing the creation of nature, I suddenly felt the insignificance of human beings.

The Twelve Apostles is a photo spot that cannot be missed, as it is a beautiful sight that gradually disappears. Some of the rocks have collapsed as the waves are eroding their foundations. On July 3, 2005, one piece broke off, and on September 25, 2009, another piece collapsed. Today, only seven of the twelve rocks remain.

The round trip from Melbourne to the Twelve Apostles is 600 km, so a one-day trip is a bit rushed. A two-day trip is recommended.

You can always believe in the power given by nature. Standing here, you can really feel its shock. If you have enough time, you must come to see its sunset. It is so romantic.
