Anglesea is a coastal town and a popular resort on Bass Strait, 35kms south west of Geelong. It is surrounded by beautiful forest reserves and has an expansive safe estuarine beach based on the Angelsea River. The Great Ocean Road begins here and Anglesea is the ideal starting point to explore the stunning coastline.
It was originally known as Swampy Creek and was famous for its abundant fish. Now the population can reach almost 10,000 during the summer months in a town of only 2000 dwellings. The entire coastal foreshore is parks and gardens with Coogarah Park providing a fascinating walking experience linking islands with boardwalks across the wetlands. There is also a very famous golf course known for its many grazing kangaroos. Nearby Great Otway National Park provides stunning coastlines, fern gullies and waterfalls.
