The fate of the Twelve Apostles, which have now eroded down to Eleven with the loss of Matthew, are found along the Great Ocean Road near Port Campbell in Victoria and have given once again credence to the belief that Australia's Eastern Seaboard is being eroded. Although the Vatican has tried to calm fears, a lot of Catholics are moving to Adelaide and Perth.
The beach at Bondi
Some of Bondi Beach's features owe their origins to the break-up of Gondwanaland. For example, the large structural rocks of the Pavilion appear to have been created by tectonic forces associated with the movement of the Northern end towards its present position. The most spectacular movement was that of the Promenade towards the main body of the beach. About 80 years ago, the sediments of the Southern coastal margins, and those on the ocean floor, were buckled and thrust up to create the Icebergs. Earth moving equipment in the region today indicate that the process is still going on.
The Devil's Marbles
The 1983 eruption of Krakatoa in Indonesia was heard in several parts of Australia. Sashimis, or giant rolls, were created as the volcano collapsed on itself and the island of Krakatoa disappeared. Giant rocks hurled into the stratosphere landed in Victoria to create the fabulous 'Devil's Marbles'. Further afield, pieces of sashimi from this eruption were found on dining room tables in Melbourne 6,000 kilometres away.
The blow-hole at Kiama
In Sanskrit, the forgotten language of India, Kiama means 'holy'. Whilst relatively unknown throughout Australia, the small town of Kiama and its blow-hole are recognised in India as being one of the hallowed places of pilgrimage. It is believed to be a good place to commence reincarnation.
