Be In Your 12 Apostles Coast & Hinterland Element
The coast the whole world comes to see and the hinterland worth staying for.
The 12 Apostles are one of those rare natural wonders that exceed the photographs, towering limestone stacks rising from the Southern Ocean, carved by millennia of wind and wave. But the 12 Apostles Coast and Hinterland is more than its headline act. Step back from the coast and you'll find the rich, rolling hinterland with artisan producers, and volcanic lakes and plains. Come and be in your 12 Apostles Coast and Hinterland element.
Be Reminded
You’ve seen the photographs. Nothing prepares you for the real thing. The 12 Apostles at golden hour, Loch Ard Gorge with winter swell, Gibson Steps where the Southern Ocean meets the sand.

The 12 Apostles Coast and Hinterland rewards those who slow down and move through it. Walk the Poorpa Yanyeen Meerreeng Trail from Timboon to Port Campbell, ride or walk the Camperdown to Timboon Rail Trail.

Be Connected
Behind the clifftop crowds are communities that have been here long before the tourists arrived and will be long after. Be sure to connect with the local area on your next visit.
Be Indulged
The hinterland behind the cliffs is where the food story of this region really begins. Think locally made dairy and cheese, farm gate produce and a café scene that surprises first-timers.
