Twelve Apostles visitors to be charged entry fee to see natural wonder

The Victorian government will soon implement an entry fee for tourists visiting the Twelve Apostles on the Great Ocean Road. This fee will be associated with the Twelve Apostles Visitor Experience Centre, a $126 million facility scheduled to open at the end of 2026. The government's rationale is that it is fair for tourists to contribute to the upkeep and maintenance of the popular natural attraction. The announcement is expected to be made on Monday. The new fee will affect all tourists wishing to access the visitor center and view the famous limestone stacks.
