Mount Oberon Summit

Scenic spot

👍👍 From a small carpark, which you may have to park along the side of the road, it’s a decent continuous grade hike for just over 4kms. There is a short rocky stair section at the end at the communication towers to make it to the summit, and a good place to catch your breath. Once at the summit there a...

Boronia Peak

Vista point

👍👍 There is unlimited street parking at the end of Tandara Rd. Park here for the walk. The path is good, starting as gentle switch backs then becoming steeper and rockier as you go until the last 100 m is a bit of a rock scramble. The path is quite exposed to the sun in places so a hat and water are...

Point Ormond Lookout

Vista point

👍👍 This is literally one of the best spots to view the sunset and sunrise along with the city night lights. We spent about 30 to 60 minutes here watching the sun set and admiring the night lights. It was surprisingly not as cold as expected. I'd arrive there at least an hour before because there are a...

Lakeview Lookout

Vista point

👍👍 Start at Sundial carpark. Easy walk to this lovely lookout. A few rocky steps to go up so if you have crook knees like I do take a stick with you. It was cloudy when I went but the cloud cleared and still got to see lake Bellfield and Halls Gap. If you want to do the pinnacle from here this is the e...

Werribee Gorge Western Lookout

Vista point

👍👍 Awesome views and pretty accessible for anyone moderately fit.

4.80 (54 reviews) (~56.43 km from centre)

Vereker Outlook

Vista point

👍👍 30 ish minute walk from the Carpark to the outlook, awesome 360 degrees views of the beautiful Wilson’s Prom. Well worth the effort, uphill walk to the top so some level of fitness is required or just walk a bit slower.

The Saint George River drains into the Bass Strait underneath this clifftop viewpoint.

The Balconies

Vista point

👍👍 A place with a nice sunset view but hard to get a good angle. It’s a nice sunset view but it’s harder to get a good angle compared to staying at reed lookout. If you’re thinking about making the 1km walk for the sunset, it’s better if you stay at reed lookout. Aside from the sunset, you get a real...

Red Rock

Vista point

👍👍 Amazing place, on so many levels.. A 360 degree view of the district, on a volcanic scoria hill. The view is fantastic, and you can see just how big the lakes are, and the view is just amazing. Access: drive west out of Colac and follow the signs. A tip.. dont fang it... most of the roads are 100,...

4.60 (363 reviews) (~58.93 km from centre)

Mount Defiance Lookout

Vista point

👍 Have always used Mt Defiance as a stopping point for around 30 years as I've passed by this way. It's a nice place to stop but in recent years there are a couple of places more roomy that make a good stop, but to date not nicer. The issue here is the narrow car parking space, which is an problem at...
