Overview

Wongarra is a coastal locality in the Shire of Colac Otway, where the Great Ocean Road skirts scenery from Cape Patton to Carisbrook Falls and the northern landscape blends state forest with the Great Otway National Park. The beaches host the “Boneyards” and “Juniors” surf breaks and popular rock‑fishing spots, though Surf Life Saving Australia rates the swimming conditions as highly to extremely dangerous, and the Otway Harvest truffle farm on Sunnyside Road once sold truffles at $2,500 per kilogram.

With only 37 residents recorded in the 2016 census, the housing portfolio centres on tourism, featuring the four‑star Whitecrest Resort and Points South holiday cottages once run by Tour de France rider Phil Anderson. Access is provided by the coastal Great Ocean Road and the inland Sunnyside Road, which also leads to the heritage‑listed Carisbrook Mill, and the 3234 postcode, including Wongarra and Wye River, ranked among Victoria’s top‑earning areas in 2010‑11.
