Lorne Essentials

Lorne marks a key point on the 240-kilometre Great Ocean Road, where the temperate rainforest of the Great Otway National Park meets the Southern Ocean. This coastal town features a mix of natural landmarks, including the 30-metre drop of Erskine Falls and the panoramic coastal views from Teddy’s Lookout. The area’s history is reflected in the Lorne Pier, a hub for local fishing, and the town's central patrolled beach. Cultural sites like Qdos Art Gallery integrate contemporary sculpture with the surrounding bushland, while Sheoak Falls offers a secluded waterfall experience near the coast.
