Nestled in the foot hills of the Otway Ranges less than 2 hours drive
from Melbourne, and only 20 minutes from Lorne, King Parrot Holiday
Cabins offer the perfect holiday retreat for busy people.
For those people that really love to get active while on holidays, why not partake in the annual Pier To Pub race? It's a swimming competition that sees you pit your swimming skills against up to 4,000 other people! Held in January each year, this event is great fun whether you're a competitive swimmer or just want to get involved with the locals and other tourists. You'll meet new friends and support the local surf life saving club at the same time.
Animal lovers will be delighted at their ability to sit and watch one of the cutest marsupials go about their daily business. This creature is cute, furry and very lazy! So what is it ?! If you guessed the Koala, that's right! Koalas can be found in and around the outskirts of Lorne. While driving along the Great Ocean Road, be sure to go slow and keep a keen eye out. Chances are you will happen across many other tourists who have pulled over to the side of the road to catch a glimpse at Australia's favourite animal. Feel free to take photographs but always ensure you don't get too close and watch for traffic.
You might think of Lorne as a sleepy town but it comes alive every New Years Eve with the beginning of The Falls Festival. If you're lucky enough to be in Lorne during NYE, you won't want to miss this festival of great music and good food. Some of Australia's most popular bands play here each and every year, so no matter your age, you're bound to enjoy the music being played. Just be sure to book your tickets well in advance as well as arranging your accommodation as Lorne becomes very busy during this period of the year.
As you can see, there is a lot for people to do during their stay in Lorne. Whether you're in town for a few days or are camping it up for a couple of weeks with the kids, you'll always find something exciting to get involved with. Another holiday place of interest is a little place in NSW call Batemans Bay and would highly recommend a visit if you can.
