The Twelve Apostles, Victoria

These are limestone stacks created by erosion due to wave action.  The pile of rubble in the foreground was once a 50-meter high stack until July 2005, when it collapsed.  This dropped the remaining number of Apostles from nine to eight.

I was standing at 38°39′49.95″S, 143°06′15.48″E (Google Maps) looking northwest.  A visitor center was built across the Great Ocean Road from the coastline, so this site is easily accessible.
