In Anglesea a unique game of golf comes with a slice of the local wildlife. The 18-hole course is just a short chip up the hill from the Great Ocean Road, set among beautiful native bushland. Scores of kangaroos happily graze on the wide fairways or loll about near the greens. You don’t have to be a player to enjoy the spectacle. Sightseers can get a good view of the ’roos and wallabies from Golf Links Road.

Many of Anglesea’s other treasures are also products of nature. The wide sandy beach is perfect for swimming, surfing or just relaxing, while the protected waters a little way round at Point Roadknight beach are popular with families.

It is also a good place to catch some wind and you’ll often see sailboards and ‘cats’ zooming along on the breeze.

Anglesea is great place to discover on foot. The 35km Surfcoast Walk passes through the town and you can wander in both directions, along the coast and inland up beside the Anglesea River.

Coogoorah Park, adjoining the river, has a series of walking tracks, boardwalks and bridges that wind through native bush, span reedy wetlands teeming with birds and cross the river.
