If seeing a koala in the wild is high on your wishlist, you’ve come to the right place. From Lorne, keep following the Great Ocean Road southwest, and in around 30 minutes you will come to the township of Kennett River. This has become known as one of Australia’s koala-spotting capitals, thanks to the large numbers of these native animals that make their home in the blue gums that line the main road. Take a stroll around the Koala Walk and keep your eyes peeled for our furry friends sleeping in the trees.
