Wye River is a small town located in Victoria, Australia. It is just 20 minutes from Lorne, or if you are arriving from Apollo Bay, it is 35 minutes to travel here. A stretch of coastline famous for its scenic coastal views and beautiful beaches, it is an all-season tourist destination where many tourists stop in order to rest for a few days before continuing their drive down the Great Ocean Road. The Wye River flows through the town and into the sea, and tourists like to walk along the river, taking in the breathtaking views of waterfalls in Winter. The Wye General store is where you will be able to buy freshly baked bread and pastries or purchase other groceries. Lovely Wye River awaits.
