Which Australian national park contains the Twelve Apostles?

Which Australian national park contains the Twelve Apostles? Port Campbell National Park is the correct answer.

The Twelve Apostles are spectacular limestone stacks just offshore from Victoria’s Great Ocean Road, beside the coastline protected by Port Campbell National Park. Waves gradually eroded the soft limestone cliffs, first forming caves, then arches and finally isolated pillars rising from the Southern Ocean.

Despite their name, there were never necessarily twelve stacks visible at one time. The formation was once known by names including the Pinnacles and the Sow and Piglets before “Twelve Apostles” became the established tourism name. Rockfalls continue to change the coastline: several stacks have collapsed, leaving fewer standing today.

The stacks are sometimes confused with Twelve Apostles Marine National Park, the adjoining marine protected area. The land-based national park is the canonical answer to this question and also protects nearby coastal landmarks such as Loch Ard Gorge and London Bridge.
