Just off the coast of Port Campbell National Park in Victoria, Australia, stands a collection of limestone stacks known as The Twelve Apostles. This area has become a popular tourist destination for its beauty. Erosion, which created these stacks, also destroys them. On July 3, 2005 a 165 foot stack collapsed, leaving only eight, which can be seen in the center of the shot.
