A few years back, my father-in-law came down to visit us in Australia.  Now, he doesn’t travel a ton, so the trip down from the middle of America to Australia was a long trek for him to do.  My missus (not knowing at the time how long we were actually going to be in Australia) predicted that this was the only time that he would ever set foot here, so she wanted to make it worth his trip.  He took a solo trip up to Queensland and took a day trip out to snorkel over the Great Barrier Reef while we worked.  Then we all took a flight down to Adelaide, took the ferry boat over to Kangaroo Island where we stayed for a few days.  Then we popped up to the Barossa Valley for a couple of days right around Christmas, then took the long route to drive from the Barossa to Melbourne, where we spent New Years Eve.  Now, if you do the math, in his relatively short trip down to Australia, he visited 4 of the 9 States and Territories in one shot!!!

In any event, on our week long drive between basically Adelaide and Melbs, we hit the south coast for the Great Ocean Road, and stopped for an hour or so at the Twelve Apostles.  Australia is full of sandstone, but these particular formations are spectacular in that they are slowly being eroded by the waves of the Great Southern Ocean, and at some point in the future will actually cease to exist.
