The 12 Apostles
Witness the rugged splendour of the famous 12 Apostles, magnificent rock stacks that rise up majestically from the Southern Ocean on Victoria’s dramatic coastline.
Created by constant erosion of the limestone cliffs of the mainland beginning 10-20 million years ago, the stormy Southern Ocean and blasting winds gradually eroded the softer limestone, forming caves in the cliffs. The caves eventually became arches and when they collapsed rock stacks up to 45 metres high were left isolated from the shore. View the 12 Apostles at sunrise and sunset as they change colour from dark and foreboding in shadow to brilliant sandy yellow under a full sun.
The Grampians
The Grampians are Victoria’s best back-to-nature destination, with a series of rugged, ancient mountain ranges that really deliver in the scenic stakes. And while hiking, climbing, riding (horse or bicycle) and fishing might be the most popular pursuits, there are an increasing number of visitors who are making a culinary pilgrimage to the Royal Mail’s much-lauded restaurant in Dunkeld. This region can feel like your own little secret.
The McKenzie Falls are a particular draw for hikers, with an easy loop track that includes a viewing platform, as are magnificent collections of Aboriginal rock painting.
