Apollo Bay

Built around a timber-export port, Apollo Bay grew into a coastal town on the sheltered curve of its namesake bay, where the Barham River meets Bass Strait. The Great Ocean Road passes through town, following Victoria’s southern coast between surf beaches and the forested Otway Ranges. Construction of the road began in 1919 with returned servicemen, and it is dedicated to Australians who died in the First World War. Apollo Bay retains close ties to fishing, while its harbour and foreshore remain central to daily life by the water.
