Colac Otway Region

From the Great Ocean Road’s rugged coastline to the Otway Ranges’ rainforests, this region encompasses waterfalls, tall trees and fertile farmland. The Twelve Apostles, Great Ocean Walk and Lake Colac draw visitors. Locals swim at a secret rock pool beneath a waterfall and savour farmhouse cheeses sold from a cellar door up a winding gravel track.
