Lorne's pier offers fishing and panoramic ocean views, while the town itself serves as a gateway to the scenic wonders further along the Great Ocean Road.
Teddy's Lookout
Ascend to Teddy's Lookout, a vantage point offering some of the most breathtaking panoramic views along the Great Ocean Road. Marvel at the dramatic coastline where the road winds along the cliffs, the mouth of the Aire River, and the verdant hinterland stretching inland. The short, easy walk from the car park rewards you with an unforgettable vista, perfect for capturing stunning photographs.
Kennett River Koala Walk
Venture into the eucalyptus groves of Kennett River, a renowned haven for koalas in their natural habitat. Take a leisurely stroll through the trees, scanning the branches for these iconic Australian marsupials. Kennett River is known as one of the best places on the Great Ocean Road to spot koalas, offering a unique opportunity to observe these adorable creatures up close.
Maits Rest Rainforest
Immerse yourself in the tranquility of Maits Rest, an ancient temperate rainforest showcasing the natural diversity of the Great Otway National Park. Walk along the boardwalk beneath towering myrtle beech trees and lush ferns, and discover the unique ecosystem that thrives in this cool, damp environment. This accessible rainforest walk provides a glimpse into a world untouched by time.
Gibson Steps

Admire the unique rock formations sculpted by the relentless waves and learn about the rich maritime history of this stunning location. Multiple viewing platforms offer different perspectives of this iconic landmark.
