9 days in Torquay Itinerary

Set against the stark but scenic coastline of the Bass Strait--the body of water separating Victoria and Tasmania--Torquay is a prime location for surfing and beach life in general.

You'll find plenty of places to visit near Torquay: Lorne (Erskine Falls, Great Ocean Road Memorial Archway, &more), Otway Fly Treetop Adventures (in Weeaproinah) and Blakes Estate Winery (in Deans Marsh). Next up on the itinerary: cruise along The Great Ocean Road, let the kids burn off some steam at Torquay Foreshore Play Park, hike along Great Ocean Walk, and step off the mainland to explore Churchill Island.

To find photos, more things to do, maps, and tourist information, refer to the Torquay road trip planning website.

In October, plan for daily highs up to 24°C, and evening lows to 8°C.
