RE: Bizarre Natural Phenomena Vol. 71 - Fading Pillars In The Sea (The Twelve Apostles Of Australia)

Hi @Ruth-girl the Great Ocean Road is such a wonderful trip, and a great way to drive from Melbourne to Adelaide if you're not in a hurry. (Incidentally, Melbourne has a very large Greek population).

Like you say The Twelve Apostles is a great place to see weather erosion on a human timescale. As a cool project it would be interesting to stitch together a timelapse of the area taken from the lookout over years/decades. Would be pretty easy to find images - just scour the internet/social media.

Btw...thanks to the Shoutout!

Hey @terrylovejoy! I was expecting you'd have seen this place and wanted to hear your comments! So the photos are not exaggerating, are they?

So far, the only time lapses I found were of the same day, but there are photos to show how much the place has changed, it is really amazing to see it and think about how everything on this planet keeps shifting shapes.

You're welcome!

Actually, I'm stretching my memory a little now, but even though it was overcast when I was there it was still very dramatic as it came into view. I need to get down there again soon, although it's a 3 day drive from where I live :(

From where I live, it's a 1 day flight... let's see who gets there first 😜

3 days is a long time, but perhaps if you combine this trip with other places you haven't visited, it could worth it. And with good company it would totally worth it!

Good idea! There are definitely a lot of places on the way, like Siding Spring Observatory, Parkes, Snowy Mountains, etc.
