These 12 sea-facing limestone/sandstone stacks at Red Bluff look mesmerisingly beautiful against a cloudless sky. The colour is rich and warm despite a fast approaching wintery sunset. The half moon above these stacks is a welcomed participant. I took liberty to call them the 12 Apostles of Red Bluff.
Located in Black Rock, about 19 km from Melbourne, Red Bluff is a high (over 25 m), active cliff cut in poorly consolidated clayey sands, with harder sandstone beds forming a series of irregular ledges and benches at the base. The greater part of the cliff is an exposure of the Red Bluff Sand, this site being the type locality for that geological formation. (Sourced from Victorian Resources Online)
