Kennett River Koala Walk

Kennett River

The easiest place on the Great Ocean Road to see wild koalas. Along Grey River Road you can often spot them in the gum trees, and parrots will land on your hand.

Kennett River lies between Lorne and Apollo Bay. The village has just one café and a caravan park. Walk or drive slowly for about 1 km along Grey River Road behind the café, and look up into the eucalyptus branches for sleeping wild koalas. You will often see several. Around the café there are king parrots and crimson rosellas, but please do not feed the wildlife. Entry is free. Plan to stay for 30 to 60 minutes. Take care when parking on the roadside.
