I also like the fact that it is as if there are faces in the rocks; I can only assume that this is why these rock formations are called the twelve apostles.

Actually, they used to be twelve sandstone rocks in the sea ... unfortunately at least two of them
have crashed in the last 20 years (due to erosion). Same thing happened about 20 years ago
to a very famous rock formation called "the london bridge" which is located not far from
the 12 apostels (on the "great ocean road" as well). I've slides from the apostels from 1990
and more slides from 1997 and 1999 ... the difference between them: At least one apostel
"converted believes" so to say.
I like this image, especially because it doesn't show the "standard view" on the apostels that
you usually get if you just stop at the main parking area.
Just my 2cts.
