Embarking on a walk over the towering cliffs of the south end of Yorke Peninsula, we made a journey to try and discover the one lone apostle. A lonely fisherman had reported seeing this legendary rock from his boat in the ocean. But no land living creature, that we knew, had ever pointed out this amazing discovery to us.
Did we really have an apostle? Victoria had twelve, (Yeah right!! There are really only eight and rumour has it, there never, ever were twelve, it was simply a marketing ploy.)
Could South Australia possibly have just one for a few isolated adventurers like me and my husband?
Well we were about to find out!
We felt like the explorers of old….phone, water, sun hat, insect repel, camera, good shoes, snake protectors etc.
I think the explorers of old had note paper instead of a camera, old boots instead of good Nike trekking shoes, kerosene as insect repellent, and as the movies depict they always lost their water on the way so almost died of thirst!!
No dying on the journey for us we’re far too clever and modern.
Above…looking forward along the coastline
Looking back you can see the West Cape light house way in the distance.
And there it is in all its glory. We found it!
Looking down.
Yeah that way mate!
TIME TAKEN: Just under one hour to walk there, 30 minutes of taking photos and resting. Basically it took the best part of two and a half hours.
APOSTLE LOCATED: Yes bought a tear to my eye… majestical.
LIVING CREATURES: One shingle back lizard and quite a few kangaroos, and crows.
SIGNS OF HUMAN ACTIVITY: Not a single beer bottle, or cigarette butt, or foot print, now that’s worth seeing!
YES, South Australia does have an Apostle, difficult to find, but picturesque and worth the walk!
