Where is the best place to photograph the 12 Apostles?

To capture the best photographs of the 12 Apostles, there are several key spots that offer fantastic views:

Main Viewing Platform: The primary viewing platform is the most accessible and provides a classic, unobstructed view of the 12 Apostles. This spot is great for panoramic shots and is especially stunning during sunrise or sunset.

Castle Rock Lookout: A bit further along the path, you’ll find Castle Rock lookout. This spot offers a different angle and can capture more of the coastline alongside the Apostles.

Gibson Steps: If you’re up for a bit of a walk, the Gibson Steps take you down to the beach level (depending on the tide). From here, you can get a unique perspective of the Apostles from the beach, allowing you to capture their grandeur against the scale of the ocean. This spot is especially good for dramatic, up-close shots.

Helicopter Tours: For a truly unique view, you might consider a helicopter tour. This gives you an aerial perspective of the 12 Apostles and the surrounding coastline, offering opportunities for stunning and unique photographs.

Each of these spots has its own charm, and the lighting at different times of the day can dramatically change the appearance of the limestone stacks, so it’s worth trying a few different locations and times if your schedule allows. And remember, the weather on the Great Ocean Road can be quite variable, so be prepared for changing conditions!
