The Twelve Apostles are a collection of natural limestone stacks standing just off shore in the Port Campbell National Park, on the Great Ocean Road in Victoria, Australia. Their proximity to one another has made the site a popular tourist attraction. Originally the site was called the Sow and Piglets. The name was changed in the 1950s to the more majestic "The Twelve Apostles" to lure more visitors even though there were only nine left.

The Twelve Apostles are between the towns of Port Campbell and Princetown on the Great Ocean Road. In the early 2000s a visitor centre was built on the inland side of the road to allow for easy parking and access to the best viewing area. Helicopter rides around the formations are also available.


十二使徒岩

    最著名的十二使徒岩被譽為澳大利亞的地標之一，它們是海邊一組十二塊各自獨立的岩石構成，其數量及形態恰巧酷似耶穌的十二使徒，因此就以聖經故事裏的這“十二門徒”加以命名。這十二使徒岩實際是海濁地型，受海水長期衝濁後形成的石灰石柱以不同造型風姿卓越地屹立海上，大自然之美展現無疑。
