The 12 Apostles
Natural Feature
The jewel—or jewels, rather,—of the dramatic Great Ocean Road are most definitely The 12 Apostles. Rising from the coast, this iconic group of windswept limestone stacks were formed by erosion during millions of years. Today, there are only eight left standing, and they are viewed at dawn or dusk from the lookout and walkways, which are open 365 days a year.

The Pinnacles
Natural Feature
Although there are many worthwhile attractions in Grampians National Park, the most popular is The Pinnacle, a rocky spur that extends from a cliff face in Halls Gap. This natural lookout can be reached via a number of walking trails, including the family-friendly 4.2-kilometre return hike that begins at Sundial carpark. Whichever route you take, the hike is well worth the marvellous view from the top.
