What to expect
Port Campbell National Park
Take in the amazing Lime Stone cliff face at the 12 Apostles National Park
Twelve Apostles Marine National Park
The Twelve Apostles were formed by erosion. The harsh and extreme weather conditions from the Southern Ocean gradually erode the soft limestone to form caves in the cliffs, which then become arches that eventually collapse, leaving rock stacks up to 50 m
The Razorback
One of these astounding rock formations is the Razorback, whose name comes from its jagged, narrow aesthetic. One of the most awe-inspiring natural landmarks in the Port Campbell National Park
Gibsons Steps
Explore the beach just near the 12 Apostles below Gog & Magog via a staircase that was built hundreds of years ago, carved into the ancient sandstone cliffs
Loch Ard Gorge
Take a stroll alone the dramatic beach tuck away in the Limestone cliffs
