Living in Colac offers more than everyday convenience. Set between volcanic lakes, national parks and the coastline, it’s a place where nature and community come together in a way that feels easy to enjoy.
The Colac Otway region stretches from Cressy in the north down to Apollo Bay and Cape Otway on the coast. Along the way, it takes in some of Victoria’s most recognised natural features, including the forests and waterfalls of the Otway Ranges.
Lake Colac sits at the centre of it all. As the largest natural freshwater lake in Victoria, it’s a place locals return to often, whether for a walk, time with family, or simply to unwind. With open green space, playgrounds and picnic areas nearby, it’s part of everyday life in Colac.
From lakes and forests to coastlines and open space, Colac offers a lifestyle that’s easy to enjoy every day.
