20 million years old ... gone in 60 seconds
Michael Davis and Katrina Strickland
July 04, 2005
ONE of the famous Twelve Apostles collapsed into a heap of rubble yesterday, destroying in seconds a landmark nature had taken 20 million years to create.

The 70m-high limestone monolith off Victoria's Great Ocean Road crumbled shortly before 9.20am, in a relatively moderate swell, after a huge crack opened up on the seaward side.

Only eight Apostles now remain. Yesterday's collapsed pillar - the second of the group, looking northwest from the main viewing platform - was lying as a forlorn pile of rubble last night just metres above sea level.

Damn, and here was I looking forward to a trip down the Great Ocean Road in order to look some lumps of rock! My life will be completely unfulfilled now! Who can I sue!!!

Sweet Lord!!! It was the POPULAR and BEST LOVED one!!

"This was certainly the most recognisable of all the Apostles, in the forefront of the typical picture you see of them. They'll have to change all the postcards now."

Really? I read that in 'Big-Rock Brother' it had been voted out of the continent when Uluru had managed to get the majority of votes, even the smallest of the Three Sisters at Katoomba was considered 'sexier and more trustworthy' than any of the Apostles. Of course, they weren't directly involved in the doping scandal that ruined the reputations of the Devil's Marbles.......

But some did feel cheated. "We were told to go and see the Twelve Apostles, all nine of them, and now there's eight," one said.

Get a class action together buddy! There used to be a cove full of real live dinosaurs on that coast too. But they all like died a quarter of a billion years ago, but that shouldn't stop you from declaring the owner of the site negligent for not ensuring the welfare and survival of those creatures several hundred years BEFORE the evolution of apes stupid enough to travel across the world to look at other peoples rocks!

Bringing to mind the classic Larson cartoon which I think was along the lines of "When Coleslaw Goes Bad" (could have been some other preparation in there but let me tell you things looked pretty hot in that fridge).
