The Cape Otway Lighthouse is only a 35min drive away from Apollo Bay and the Heritage Buildings offer some interesting historical insights about the journey from Europe, shipwrecks, life at a lightstation, dinosaurs and importance of the cape during the war. You can climb the tower for stunning views over the precinct and Bass Strait before relaxing at the cafe with a scone and a coffee.

How beautiful are the Botanic Gardens in Colac?! "Established in 1865 and redesigned a couple of times in 1868 and 1910, the Gardens occupy about 16 hectares in an elevated position along the southern banks of Lake Colac. A 1.1 kilometre carriageway circumnavigates the gardens, providing access to cars, runners, walkers and cyclists. Dogs on leads are welcome in the Gardens. It is home to a large colony of grey headed flying foxes" (source: Colac Otway Shire Website).
