The Twelve Apostles
35 min

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

Loch Ard Gorge

Loch Ard Gorge is a treasure trove of natural beauty, coastal wilderness and maritime history. Take some time to wander the trails, exploring the blowholes, offshore limestone stacks and towering cliffs. Visit at dusk to watch the short-tailed shearwaters (muttonbirds) fly home. Hear the story of the Loch Ard shipwreck and learn about the rich maritime history of the area at the nearby Port Campbell Visitor Information Centre.

20 min

Carved over thousands of years by the relentless Southern Ocean, the Razorback rises like a jagged spine from the sea — a testament to the raw beauty of Victoria’s Shipwreck Coast.

This stop is perfectly timed within your itinerary, following visits to nearby highlights such as Loch Ard Gorge and the world-famous Twelve Apostles, allowing you to explore beyond the typical viewpoints and avoid the busiest crowds.
