Who’s got the best fish and chips in the country? Victoria does, of course! In Apollo Bay to be exact…
Congratulations to Apollo Bay Fisherman’s Co Op for taking out the #1 spot for best fish and chips in the country by The Australian.
There’s nothing quite like enjoying freshly caught, local seafood while soaking in the stunning view of the ocean and the very boats that brought your meal to shore! With summer road-trip season upon us, it’s the perfect spot to stop for lunch.

The Great Ocean Walk is a scenic 110-kilometer trail along Victoria's southwest coast, stretching from Apollo Bay to the Twelve Apostles. This diverse hike offers stunning coastal views, lush forests, and historic sites like the Cape Otway Lightstation. Walkers can spot wildlife, including koalas and whales, and enjoy eco-friendly campsites. It's a perfect blend of natural beauty and adventure, making it a must-do for nature enthusiasts. This shot was taken between Parker Hill and Cape Otway. Campsites are free from December 2024 to June 2025, but bookings are essential!

This koala is on its way to the next eucalyptus tree, passing through backyards and meeting locals on the way. Be prepared to meet one while staying in town.
"Koalas are a bit like very old people. They don’t like rap, heavy metal or doof-doof music. They don’t like it played too loud either. They don’t like kids jumping out from behind doors and yelling 'Surprise!' They don’t like people driving too fast, or running around the house. They don’t like sudden changes." (source: echidnawalkabout.wordpress.com)
Please stick to the following guidelines:
- Don't touch the koala: It's illegal.
- Don't touch the tree it is resting on, it's like trespassing for the koala.
- Keep your distance.
- Stay in a group and don't surround the tree.
- Be quiet.
- Don't climb the tree.
- Don't throw anything.
Thank you. Enjoy the unique Flora and Fauna of the Otways.
