Visit Queenscliff, Australia

At the head of Port Phillip Bay this town was born from humble beginnings as a sea pilots’ station and military garrison, but has blossomed into a bayside town of faded grandeur replete with Victorian-era buildings, fascinating galleries and renowned restaurants.

Heritage hotels testify to flamboyant days gone by and simple cottages echo a more modest past among the fort, lighthouse and beaches.

We suggest you take the daily ferry from Portsea on the tip of the Mornington Peninsula to Queenscliff and spend a couple of nights before continuing on a journey along the Great Ocean Road.
