Australia’s Twelve Apostles Now Down to Seven

The ferocious waves that crash into Victoria’s southwestern coast have continued to carve away at one of Australia’s most recognized landmarks:

THE Twelve Apostles are now the Seven Apostles. Neil Sander, a tour operator noticed that one of the remaining Apostles had fallen at just after 5pm yesterday.

And with the Grand Final today Mr Sander believes it could be an omen.

“The Geelong surf coast beats a Saint again,” he said.

“I went ‘oh my god’.”

He arrived on the scene with a tour group of nine people and instantly noticed the missing apostle.

But by the time the group had arrived there wasn’t much to see, according to Mr Sander.

“Just a little bit of rock sticking out. The water was murky too, almost an army green mixed with a creamy colour.”

The apostle was one of those nearest the Loch Ard Gorge and Port Campbell and just before the remains of the Island Arch formation.  [Herald-Sun]

If you haven’t already I highly recommend reading my prior posting of my visit to beautiful Port Campbell National Park, which is where the 12 Apostles are located.   There you can see great pictures like the one below of this beautiful coastline:
