    Our area is great for surfing and paddle boarding enthusiasts - or those who would love to give it a try. We live very close to a river where we paddle board regularly. We also have some of the best surfing beaches in Victoria nearby. The Great Ocean Road and the Otway Ranges are an hour from us - they offer spectacular scenery and great hiking.
