Wildlife abounds at Wye River. Bird life is prolific and native wildlife including koala, kangaroos, wallabies and possums have made the bush around Wye River their home.

Tired of the beach? Head to the hills and discover the beauty of the Great Otway National Park. There are tracks to explore on either foot or bicycle, waterfalls and scenic picnic areas.
