Do you love the sea? Are you bored of going to the traditional beach spots for luxury every year? Fret no more because the Twelve Apostles of Victoria Coast in Australia are here to brighten up your yearly travel routine.

The famous rugged and dramatic limestone towers which are located at the windswept coastline of the Great Ocean Road provide you a thoroughly invigorating experience of feeling the waves spray water on your face, hearing the howling winds, witnessing the beautiful spectacle of the sunrise and the ocean water frothing with bubbles.

How were the Twelve Apostles of Victoria Coast formed?

The limestone pillars of the Twelve Apostles came into being as one of the nature’s wonders through erosion after being subjected to extremely harsh weather conditions. They had been connected with the mainland cliffs centuries earlier and eventually the rough wind and strong waves carved up the limestone into the shape of the 45 meters tall magnificent columns that they are known as currently.

Still now, the grand arches keep eroding at a rate of two centimeters per year so make sure you plan your trip soon so that you can witness this natural attraction and phenomenon while you are still alive.

Things to do when you are at the Twelve Apostles of Victoria Coast:

1. Visit the Sow and Piglets Brewery

The Twelve Apostles were formerly known as the Sow and the Piglets which might have inspired Marion Klink and John Moloney to establish the craft brewery of the same name in the local region. The unique thing about brewery is that they try to make the most of the local Australian produce. So, the next time you go to the Twelve Apostles, make sure you visit this quaint café and enjoy the Wagyu steaks alongside the seasonal beers made using yoghurt, blackberries and strawberries.

2. 12 Apostles Flight Adventure from Torquay

Things to keep in mind before visiting the Twelve Apostles:
