A day trip to Victoria's spectacular 12 Apostles

Wed, 11/02/2011 - 02:58 — Anonymous Like the Pacific Coast Highway in
California or the Sea-to-Sky Highway near Vancouver, the Great Ocean Road in
Australia's state of Victoria is one of the greatest drives on the planet.
Between Torquay and Warrnambool, the Great Ocean Road is becoming one of the
most popular destinations in Australia, wooing 2 million visitors a
year.While much of the road offers stunning views, the main attraction is the
12 Apostles, a group of limestone formations that rise above the ocean.Wind
and wave erosion have acted like a sculptured artist in gradually whittling
the soft, limestone landscape into stacks, cliffs and arches. Today, the
stacks stand up to 50 meters high. var OutbrainPermaLink =
