Forrest, VIC 3236
Overview
Set at the northern edge of the Otway Ranges, Forrest is a town of 257 residents (2021 Census) that acts as a gateway to outdoor adventure. The centre hosts a store, micro‑brewery, hotel, bike‑hire service and several guest‑house rentals, while the West Barwon River and Lake Elizabeth offer platypus tours and over 70 km of mountain‑bike single‑track. Wildlife such as king parrots and grey‑swamp wallabies are commonly seen on the scenic drives to nearby coastal resorts.
Although the railway closed in 1957, road access is now provided by a sealed main road and former timber blue‑metal tracks linking the town to the hinterland. Affordable blocks of land near coastal resorts such as Apollo Bay, Lorne and Kennett River have drawn residents, creating a blend of older homes and rural lots. Forrest Police and Fire Stations sit within two kilometres, and the nearby Forrest State Forest frames the area with natural scenery.
Region type mix: Metro 67%, Regional 33%.
