    Gibson Steps in Australia is a set of 86 steps carved into the cliff face, leading visitors down to the beach from the cliff top. It's a significant point in Port Campbell National Park and is known for its dramatic coastal views and offshore stacks called Gog and Magog, which can be seen from both the viewing platform and the beach level, depending on tides and sea conditions. The steps offer a close-up experience of the natural power of the Southern Ocean, with waves crashing against the cliffs. Visitors can descend to the beach for a different perspective of these geological features, but must be cautious of the strong currents and changing ocean conditions.

    The Twelve Apostles in Australia are a spectacular group of rock formations that line the coast of southwestern Victoria. Part of Port Campbell National Park, these limestone stacks lie in the Southern Ocean and are a popular tourist attraction on the Great Ocean Road, often photographed at sunset when the light brings out their majestic orange and red hues. Once known as the Sow and Piglets, they were renamed for tourism purposes and despite the name, there have never been twelve—only nine at the start of the 21st century, with two having collapsed due to erosion. These natural wonders stand as a testament to the power of nature, with each stack formed by millions of years of weathering and erosion. Today, visitors can see seven of these iconic stacks, with six visible from the main viewing platform and one slightly set apart.
