In March we took a trip down the coast to admire the 12 Apostles (Port Campbell Limestone). It was a lovely two days away traveling down the great ocean road, showing Tyr a little piece of Australia. Eventually we ended up at the 12 Apostles right around sunset. Not the best time for taking photos but grand nonetheless. (also, quite windy)
Obligatory photo - me in front of the 12 apostles, notice the downed stack on the bottom left? It fell in 2012. Erosion of the limestone happens at about 2cm every year but some stacks are weaker than others.
The top of the limestone cliff the visitor platform rests on, can you see the fault?
Tyr introduces the eastern stacks. I adore exploring with this man!
One of the stacks from the beach the next day. I believe the slightly more weathered band (greyish) is a marl.
Om nom nom... when one can, one should taste the rocks. (I find it amusing that the stack is in slightly more focus than the delicious man.)
Or if you don't eat it, climb on it - because climbing up the rubble from an unstable cliff seems like a good idea at the time! The layer just above my head is that marl again. These boulders are huge!
