The Twelve Apostles
This is basically a collection of limestone stacks near the Port Campbell National Park in Australia. The site is a popular tourist attraction and seven of the original eight stacks are still standing tall at the Twelve Apostles viewpoint. One of these collapsed in July 2005.

Ball’s Pyramid
Ball’s Pyramid is a wondrous sight to behold. This mountain island is the remnant of an ancient caldera. This 562 m high pyramid looks surreal. A number of climbers have even climbed this pyramid but permission and training is required beforehand.
Wave Rock

Wave Rock
The wave rock, as the name suggests, is a rock shaped like a wave and makes for an exotic view. Set on a single hill near Hyde, the rock has been sculpted into a perfect wave by innumerable years of wind and rain erosion. It’s one of the most visited attractions in Australia.
