Comments

Very easy and short walk. Myself and my partner Dion timed to be at the 12 apostols viewing platform by sunset. The view was lovely and it wasn't too crowded. Definitely a must do if you are travelling along the Great Ocean Road.

We visited the Twelve Apostles many years ago but it was nothing like this. The lookout is huge and the crowds are too. This really is one of Australia’s iconic sites and a great short walk.

I write this 15 years after my first visit to this iconic location. One of the stacks has been lost over that period leaving just seven.
