About Teddy's Lookout
Teddy's Lookout sits on a hillside above Lorne, a few minutes’ drive from the centre. It is one of the most photographed lookouts on the Great Ocean Road: from there you can see the road’s curves clinging to the cliff, the mouth of the St George River and the sea beyond.
The lookout has viewing platforms and sits on the edge of Great Otway National Park. Forest trails pass nearby and lead to other points overlooking the river valley.
In the late afternoon the light hits the coast from the side, and sometimes parrots and other birds appear in the surrounding trees.
The lookout is near the start of some park trails that descend the St George River valley down to Lorne beach.
