Kennett River

Located on the Great Ocean Road 174 kms from Melbourne, Kennett River is a great place to see kangaroos, king parrots or to catch sight of a koala in the forest behind the town or at nearby Grey River reserve.

Head to the beach, which is patrolled and safe for swimming, has shore breaks and reef surfing and is a good place to take a walk. Look out for a glimpse of dolphin pods and, between July and September, Great Southern Right Whales as they journey past.

Walk to waterfalls, drive through the Otway ranges, fish, swim and surf. The caravan park, with the river running through it is a popular place for visitors in summer.
