The Cape Otway Lighthouse at the northern end of The Eye of The Needle was the oldest operational lighthouse with unbroken serVice on the mainland Australian coast until it was decommissioned in January 1994.

This is a planned 28km trail following the former railway starting from the Moyne River in Port Fairy through Koroit to Dennington near Warrnambool.

Some of the most spectacular coastal scenery can be seen along the Otways coastline. Travelling from Angahook-Lorne State Park through the Otways National Park and to the Port Campbell National Park this area is not to be missed.

The formation of the limestone gorges began 40 to 25 million years ago. The region was once submerged by a shallow sea, and over millions of years, marine deposits and sediments settled on the bottom of the ocean.

The Shipwreck coast offers so much more than sightseeing, try your luck with some relaxing fishing at the mouth of the Gellibrand River, Port Campbell Pier, the Curdies River at Peterborough or one of the many beaches and rock outcrops along this section of coast line.

Just a short distance from Melbourne, the Great Ocean Road in the region between the towns of Apollo Bay and Port Campbell is home to the famous Twelve Apostles Marine National Park.

Peterborough is a small, tranquil, low-key fishing and holiday resort situated on the western side of the Curdies River estuary which forms a broad inlet behind the town. Peterborough is located on the Great Ocean Road 247 km south-west of Melbourne between Port Campbell and Warrnambool.

Famous for the Twelve Apostles and historic shipwrecks, Port Campbell National Park contains the most significant areas of vegetation and fauna native to south-western Victoria. The diverse range of coastal environments includes woodlands, dunes, wetlands, coastal cliffs, limestone stacks and arches.
