Gibson Steps
86 steps carved into a 70-metre cliff just east of the Twelve Apostles. Walk down to the beach to look up at two giant sea stacks, Gog and Magog, from sea level.
Gibson Steps were first carved by Indigenous people and were extended in the 19th century by local farmer Hugh Gibson. There are 86 steps in total. Once on the sand, the huge stacks Gog and Magog stand right before you, offering a very different experience from the clifftop views. There is a car park beside the steps, or you can walk about 1 km from the Twelve Apostles visitor centre along the trail. When the tide is high or waves are rough, the beach can be submerged, so check tide times. Swimming is prohibited. Entry is free.
