Only 5 minutes or so off the Great Ocean Road with a small car park and very short walk to the lookout point which offers a stunning view of the coastline and Great Ocean Road. Worth combining with Erskine Falls which is only a short drive away.

Such a lovely pier for strolling or fishing. Beautifully lit up at night time. Lovely views of Lorne from the pier and best of all for us was meeting Sammy the Seal who loves showing off in the water for his visitors. He was absolutely adorable.

A memorial arch to commemorate the WWI veterans that returned home form the forntline and worked on the Great Ocean Road. There's a statue and also information to tell you the story. There's ample parking space for people to take photos etc, it sort of the the official start of the Great Ocean Road. For more stories on the building of GOR, head over to Lorne Visitor Center a there is exhibition at the back for people to to know more an understand the history behind GOR.

As you drive into Lorne, it is one of the first attractions you see, and your eyes are drawn to its classic lines and structural magnificence. Lorne Swing Bridge - is the perfect selfie spot and I walked around this area many times due to its panoramic qualities. [See the MANY views and atmospheric changes in the photos below]. In 2013 it was upgraded to fit with current safety codes, yet keeping a similar design to the original. The narrow, yet sturdy bridge, connects the Erskine River's mouth with the ocean and is accessible through the campgrounds/side street adjacent to a tiny carpark. There is an informative plaque at one end and a grave of historical significance, nearby. The quaint Swing Bridge Cafe alongside offers breakfast/lunch and great coffees, which is the perfect way to end a walk around the many walking circuits of Lorne. Lorne Beach can be accessed from here when the tide is out, and the walking path along Erskine River leads you back into town and makes for a lovely start or end to the day. This may be 'just a bridge' to some, but to others, it is a grand architectural structure, a meeting place, a relaxing place, a place to exercise, a place to photograph...I loved it.
