The 12 Apostles are a rock formation in the sea off the southern coast of Victoria. There are not twelve, but because they are in a scattered group, they were assigned a name that designated them as a common group, just as Jesus's apostles, or disciples, were a group "cut from the rock", so to speak. Apart from this, there is no particular reason for why they were given this name.
