Apollo Bay, 186 km south west of Melbourne on the Great Ocean Road, is a very typical seaside resort with lots of holiday accommodation. The first major European settlement occurred in 1850 when timber cutters moved into the district. They cut timber & floated it out to ships moored off shore. This industry led inevitably to the establishment of a number of sawmills. Apollo Bay is a holiday resort, fishing & farming village. Based on the edge of the Otway Ranges, it is a fantastic place to stay & an ideal base from which to explore the magnificent coast, waterfalls & rainforests. The town's wide, crescent-shaped beach is great for swimming, fishing & boating. Besides some of the Great
Ocean Road's best scenery, there is a string of swimming & surfing
beaches between Lorne & Apollo Bay.
