Standing on the edge of the Southern Ocean, along the Great Ocean Road, a famous road in the country of the State of Victoria, the site of the 12 Apostles refers to a grouping of needles or pillars of limestone once connected to the cliffs. Their proximity to each other arouses the curiosity of visitors and makes it a tourist attraction. Originally, the natural site was called Sow and Piglets, which was changed in the 1950s to a more majestic name and to attract more visitors. But the number twelve is misleading since the site actually has only eight needles! Shaped by the wind and the waves, the needles were first caves and then arches and became columns of 45 meters high with time. Even today, they are still undergoing continuous erosion and no one knows when the next cliffs will become pillars. With an erosion rate at the foot of the limestone pillars of 2cm per year, one of the 50m high columns collapsed on July 3rd 2005. In constant change, The Twelves Apostles bear witness to the natural consequences and the passage of time.
