I'M YOUR FIRST ADVENTURE
Beach, bush and kangaroos are the ingredients used to make Anglesea a favourite holiday spot. Located 10 minutes west of Torquay on the Great Ocean Road, Anglesea is perfect for a natural adventure.
Anglesea is renowned for its wildlife, particularly the kangaroos and walllabies who can be easily spotted on the greens of the local golf course almost daily. The Anglesea Golf Course is the place to meet the real locals, with beautiful kangaroos coming out to graze at dusk and dawn. It is a beautiful sight to see.
