Did you know that there are at least two places in the world that have Twelve Apostles as a popular tourist attraction?
South Africa’s Twelve Apostles is a 6 km mountain range that is a prominent feature in any drive along the Cape Peninsula’s Atlantic Coast.
Australia’s Twelve Apostles are limestone stacks located on the coastline near Port Campbell.
The name of the Twelve Apostles is said to have been coined by British governor Sir Rufane Donkin in 1820.
From north to south, the buttresses are Kloof, Fountain, Porcupine, Jubilee, Barrier, Valken, Kasteel, Postern, Wood, Spring, Slangolie, Corridor, Separation, Victoria, Grove, Llandudno Peak, Llandudno Corridor, and Hout Bay Corner.
Similar to Australia’s Twelve Apostles, the name is not an exact representation of the attraction.
There are well over twelve buttresses (Apostles) on the sea-facing side. It’s more a matter of seventeen or eighteen buttresses including St. Peter’s Peak, St. Luke’s Peak, and Judas Peak (named after Jesus’ disciples), depending on how you count them. But with such splendid scenery, who is counting anyway!?
A clear day provides the best lighting and photo opportunities. Also, around sunset, the picturesque mountain range creates unforgettable memories.
There are another famous Twelve Apostles.
