Point Addis Koorie Cultural Walk

Point Addis is about 25 minutes from Little George, just past Torquay on the way to Anglesea. Most people know it for its beautiful beach (one of our favourites along the Great Ocean Road, but also quite popular in summer now), but the Koorie Cultural Walk along the clifftops is worth the trip on its own.

The walk starts from the Point Addis car park at the end of Point Addis Road. It is about 2km return, and takes around 30 to 40 minutes depending on how long you spend at the lookouts. It is easy enough for kids and accessible for most fitness levels.

The track winds through low coastal heathland with interpretive signs along the way about the Wathaurung people and their connection to the land, food sources, plants and animals. It is well done and genuinely interesting without being heavy-handed. The kids will learn something. You will too.

The lookout at the end is the highlight. You are standing on top of ochre-coloured cliffs looking down at the beach, out to the Southern Ocean and along the coastline in both directions. If there are paragliders launching off the cliff that day, even better.

You can combine it with a swim at the beach below, but that is a longer walk down with no shade, so bring water and a hat. Check the tides too, as the beach access can be cut off at high tide and the cliffs are unstable in places.

If you want to make a morning of it, do the walk first, then head into Anglesea or Aireys Inlet for lunch. A La Greque is 10 minutes down the road.
