Generally a nice town on the edge of the lake and the otways. The highway from Geelong has been improved greatly to dual lane.

5/5 - Excellent

Colac is a delightful place and probably underrated as a tourist destination. Don't miss visiting the stunning Botanic Gardens and Lake Colac. There is so much to do within a short drive from Colac.
