Camperdown
Take the picturesque inland route to the 12 Apostles and discover Camperdown amid volcanic craters. Lush natural pastures are home to dairy farms producing mouth-watering cheeses which can be sampled and purchased at nearby Timboon.
Lakes and craters
Take in 360-degree views from Mt Leura and Mt Sugarloaf, the highest points between the coastal ranges and the rolling western plains. Volcanic activity has shaped much of the surrounding landscape, leaving a legacy of cones, lakes and craters and it is now one of the world's largest volcanic plains. Fish for trout and chinook salmon at surrounding lakes. Go boating, swimming or water skiing on Lake Bullen Merri or Lake Gnotuk.
