The Geologic Oddity in Australia; The 12 Apostles

West of Melbourne in Australia are a highly unusual monoliths of rock which jet out more than 200 feet above the surrounding shoreline. Known as the 12 Apostles, these pillars of limestone formed beginning around 14 million years ago when the global sea level was much higher than it is today. Located in Port Campbell National Park, these features are a remarkable sight to see.
