Lots to see and do in Lorne. To reach Lorne, take a 35 minute drive through the Otway ranges. Lorne is a tourist destination with ample choices for food and sightseeing. The beach is more sheltered than others on the coastline and there are many shops and restaurants to suit a variety of tastes.

Sightseeing
A difficult but rewarding walk. Descending over 350 steps to Wreck Beach, the walk takes you to the anchors of the Marie Gabrielle and the Fiji – haunting reminders of the treacherous nature of the sea. Make this walk at low tide only and beware of large sea swells.

The gravel path leads walkers through beard heath to a lookout point with views across to the lighthouse, telegraph station and the ocean. Visit the historic cemetery which bears witness to the harsh isolation of early lightstation life. Fee applies for Cape Otway Lightstation entry.

Aire River to Johanna beach all-day walk.
Start: Aire River information shelter
End: Johanna Beach campground
This is a long but satisfying walk through diverse terrain to beautiful Johanna Beach. Pass through heathland with spring wildflowers and experience awesome sea views. Look out for Peregrine Falcons flying above. Johanna River is unbridged so carefully assess before wading across.

Even in a region known for its magnificent waterfalls, Erskine Falls stands out. A short diversion from the Great Ocean Road and 15 minutes from Lorne, you can park close to the 30-metre cascade - or enjoy it as part of a longer, secluded walk through lush rainforest.
The Otway Ranges are infamous for their high rainfall - but on the plus side all that water means lush green fern gullies carved out by rivers and waterfalls. Erskine Falls is particularly popular among the waterfalls of the Otways, plunging (or trickling, depending on recent rainfall levels) down a 30-metre drop.
There's an easy walk to the first lookout or a more strenuous but rewarding climb down 230 steps to the second lookout, where you will see the waterfall in all its glory. The Erskine River Walk to Lorne continues off downstream from here if you are prepared for the 7.5km walk.

Headed from Lorne to Apollo bay, on the Great Ocean Road, take time to stop off at Kennet River to enjoy Koala sightseeing. Starting from the cafe, walk up Grey River rd, to the crest of this hill for the opportunity to see Koalas living in the gum trees there. The cafe also sells seeds to feed the local rosella parrot population and will sometimes also feed meat to the kookaburras.

The Gellibrand area, which is about 45 minutes drive from Birch-haven, is a beautifully green, partially treed countryside with rolling hills and brisk rivers and streams. The Gellibrand River Hotel serves lovely comfort food and locally brewed beers and is an ideal stop off point while visiting the region
