Over time, several of the Apostles rock formations have collapsed. Today, only eight of these impressive limestone stacks are still standing along the coastline.
The main reason the Twelve Apostles have disappeared is natural erosion. Years of relentless wind, waves, and saltwater have gradually worn away the limestone, eventually causing some stacks to collapse, much like how a structure can fall apart after losing its support.
The climate along the Great Ocean Road varies by season but generally tends to be cool because of the strong coastal winds. It's a good idea to bring a jacket, even during the summer months, to stay comfortable.
The official starting point of the Great Ocean Road is in the town of Torquay. The original idea, called the ‘South Coast Road,’ was to commence at Barwon Heads, trace the coastline around Cape Otway, and finish close to Warrnambool.
The Great Ocean Road comes to an end just past the village of Port Campbell, with Allansford recognised as the official finishing location.
Stretching from Torquay to Allansford, the Great Ocean Road covers a distance of approximately 238 kilometers (about 148 miles).
