Colac

While it may be a temptation to just kick back and relax while holidaying in Colac, keep in mind that the surrounding region's treasure-trove of natural sights, cities and towns await. Bambra, 20 miles (32 kilometers) to the west, and Surf Coast, 20 miles (32 kilometers) to the northwest of Colac are also worth checking out.

Ballarat, is another interesting spot to explore. It is 55 miles (89 kilometers) from Colac and offers a wide range of things to do and see, including Kryal Castle, Ballarat Fine Art Gallery and Gold Museum. Eureka Centre, Enfield State Park and Ballarat Golf Club are just a sample of the other attractions that should be included on everyone's to-do list.

On sunny days, why don't you grab the chance to discover Southwest Victoria's lighthouses?.

Enjoy this region in a completely different way. Join the birds and try sky diving. Combine learning with pleasure during your stay by joining one of the region's informative cycling tours.

The 26th of January is the time when many people in Australia observe Australia Day, so be on the look out special events and festivities if you are visiting Southwest Victoria then.

When it's finally time to bid farewell to Colac, head to the nearest major airport situated in Melbourne, 85 miles (137 kilometers) to the northeast.
