Teddy’s Lookout

Just 2 km from the heart of Lorne. Teddy’s Lookout is one of the most spectacular vantage points along the Great Ocean Road. Perched high above the coastline, it offers breathtaking views of the winding road below, the St George River mouth, and the vibrant blue hues of the Southern Ocean. For those wanting to explore further, short walking trails meander through the surrounding bushland, offering different perspectives of the coastline.

A small parking area is located right near the lookout, making it easily accessible by car. There are no public toilets or other amenities at the lookout.

Who is Teddy? Our favourite story is that this was named Teddy’s Lookout during construction of the Great Ocean Road. Mr Ted Babington was contracted to supply and deliver timber for bridges. Ted would cart timber from St George River Mill with his two drivers, Ted Hogan and Ted Bolger. After a steep ascent, the three ‘Teddy’s’ would rest the horses at a high point where they could also see if anyone else was coming up the hill.
