Amazing" The twelve Apostles" @Australia

in #travel6 years ago
             Located along the coast of Melbourne, Australia, the Twelve Apostles Stone (or "Twelve Apostles Rock") has a strange wall called the Twelve Apostles Stone. It is actually 12 pieces of sand rock that protrude on the sea surface of the South Pacific Ocean. After the baptism of the sea waves and the sea breeze for a thousand years, it has been carved by nature with ingenuity into 12 pieces of rock that look like human faces and have different facial expressions

            The Twelve Apostles stone is about 220 km southwest of Melbourne and is a famous landmark on Australia's Ocean Road. Known as "the most beautiful coastal highway in the world", Ocean Road, about 320 kilometers long, is built by the Australian government for the soldiers who died in World War I, following the southern coast of Victoria. On the coastline of Ocean Road Port Campbell National Park lie 12 broken walls of limestone, sandstone and fossil rock that have been weathered by sea water for thousands of years. Standing in a blue ocean, the individual reefs are of various shapes and shapes, because they resemble the twelve disciples of Jesus in number and shape, and are therefore known as the "Twelve Apostles stones."   

 A 15-year-old Sydney boy and his parents witnessed the collapse of the rock and took two very different photographs within a minute. A minute before the rock was standing there, it disappeared forever from the earth. Scientific researchers say the stone will one day disappear altogether. The moment you see is history.
