12 Apostles, Victoria, AustraliaWhen you are planning your time at The Apostles we really recommend that you factor the tides into your journey's schedule.

The reason is that while you can view The Apostles at any time of day, you can't get to do one of the best things in the Port Campbell National Park at high tide.

And that is getting down Gibson Steps on to a beach right next door to two of the giant rock formations.

It isn't a hard journey down, helped by a much improved stairway, although coming up may be a bit slower.

Gone are the wet, clay-like steps which have been replaced by good solid ones - complete with handrail.

Anyway, down on that beach you not only get to appreciate the size of the Apostles, but also the ocean's power as the waves crash in.

Remember there is nothing between where you are standing and Antarctica!

12 Apostles, Victoria, AustraliaYou need to be mindful of tide times if you are going down Gibson Steps as the last thing you want is to be cut off while admiring or photographing the formations.

The days we were there the waves were big and were smashing up against the sides of the Apostles giving us some great shots.

Again keep one eye on the viewfinder and the other watching those waves.
