Lorne, Administrative division in Surf Coast Shire, Australia.
Lorne is a coastal town on Victoria's southeastern shoreline, known for its sandy beaches and forested surroundings. The town sits along the Great Ocean Road and offers shops, restaurants, and accommodations for visitors.
The town was founded in the 1870s and grew from a small coastal settlement into a popular holiday destination. The arrival of the railway and later road connections shaped its development as a tourism hub.
Local residents engage with the council through regular meetings and the 'Your Say Lorne' platform, which enables direct participation in community decisions.
The town center is easy to walk around, with parking available near the main street and beaches. It is best to visit during the warmer months when most shops and facilities are open.
The town is surrounded by tall cliffs that drop steeply to the sea and offer striking coastal views. Many visitors overlook these dramatic cliff formations that shape the local scenery.
