Port Campbell
Port Campbell is an attractive, quiet windswept little fishing village set on a natural gorge at the mouth of Campbells Creek. The population of about 200 regulars is regularly inflated with visitors because of its proximity to some of the finest coastal scenery in the state. The village is half an hour away from London Bridge (what is left of it!), Loch Ard Gorge and the Twelve Apostles. This small town has grown, almost unwillingly, because of the district's attractions. It has a small number of motels and restaurants and a pleasant beach and jetty.

Centered around town is Wonderland Forest Park, one of the most popular sections of the Grampians with its interesting and spectacular rock formations, canyons and viewpoints. Sealed and gravel roads from the town lead to other scenic drives and a wealth of walking trails.
