Great Otway National Park Formerly named Otway National Park, this section of the 103 000 ha park includes some of the most rugged coastline in Victoria, particularly around Cape Otway and the stretch of coast towards Princetown. It is an ideal location for a bushwalking adventure taking in sights through the park to the sea, from the scenic Elliot River down to adjacent Shelly Beach. Many species of wildlife inhabit the park, including koalas and the rare tiger quoll. Also look out for the historic Cape Otway Lighthouse, built in 1848. Another highlight is Melba Gully, where, at dusk, visitors can witness a show of twinkling lights from glow worms. The Great Ocean Rd, west of Apollo Bay, passes through the park.
