One of the main things to see in Apollo Bay is the Otways National Park. It’s home to many of Australia’s favourite locals including kangaroos, wallabies, echidnas, platypus, koalas, glow worms, birds, seals, penguins and even migrating Southern Right Whales.

Please do not feed birds while in our region. Feeding native birds is strongly discouraged as it can lead to health problems or even death for the birds, as well as issues such as colony overpopulation and mess and noise for communities.
