The Twelve Apostles (Victoria)

The twelve Apostles are limestone mountains along the Port Campbell National Park along the Great Ocean Road, Victoria, Australia.

Because this site is close to each other, this site is a popular tourist attraction. The remaining seven apostles, the ninth, collapsed rapidly in July 2005. That name is especially important and spectacular, especially in the Australian tourism industry.

The apostles were shaped by erosion: the harsh and extreme weather conditions from the South Ocean gradually eroded the limestone, formed a cave on the cliff, then collapsed the arch, rocky mountains up to 50 meters Left. Because of this erosion, 8 remain. This place is known as a sow and pig (Mutton Bird Island, near the Ards Valley, 'Sow', the smaller pile is 'Piglet'), Pinnacles or Twelve Apostles. This formation was eventually called a twelve apostles, but there were only nine piles. In 2002, Port Campbell fishermen 's association did not succeed in blocking the opening of the maritime national park in the place of 12 apostles [4], but Victoria said that Benalis would permit seismic exploration in the same place I expressed satisfaction with the government's decision. Energy; I believe it will harm marine life [5]. [6]

The stack is susceptible to further erosion by waves. On July 3, 2005, the stack of 50 meters high (160 feet) collapsed and eight people stayed standing. [7] On September 25, 2009 people thought that other chips fell, but this is actually one of the small chips among the three sister's lineup. The erosion rate of the bottom of the limestone pillar is about 2 cm per year. [9] Existing corners are expected to become new mountains of limestone in the future due to the erosion of the surface of the cliffs due to the action of waves. [Ten]

The Twelve Apostles is a large limestone mountain in the southeastern part of Australia, one of Australia's most famous geological landmarks. They are located near Port Campbell in southwest Melbourne, Victoria. These limestone stacks were formed by the erosion process of limestone cliffs 20 million years ago. Erosion of the limestone cliff wave resulted in the formation of a large limestone stack. The height of each stack is about 70 meters. At first there were nine apostles, but in 2005 one of the stacks collapsed to eight. This seems to be caused by the erosion process.

However, some apostles lose their faith and do not want to calculate them, so do not let go. Either way, it seems there has never been a beginning of twelve. There are nine people, seven or eight people. Parks Victoria said that there are currently six broadcasting stations. However, limestone 16 million years ago is continually eroded, so new apostles will undoubtedly appear within thousands of years. The twelve Apostles have become common names in this area, such as Razorback, Loch Ard Gorge, London Arch Bridge. If you plan to get on the bus. Please check the function to access.
