Jamieson to Separation Creek Walk (Great Otway National Park, Wye River Coastal Reserve)
This undulating 5.3km coastal track with steps and creek crossings links Jamieson Creek Campground to Wye River township.
High points along the track offer views through tall eucalypt and temperate rain forests to the Southern Ocean beyond. Learn about the history of the area through storyboards along the way and listen for birdlife as you walk through forest above the iconic Great Ocean Road.
The coastal and forest setting is less developed than nearby Lorne providing a quieter and more relaxed atmosphere. There are a small number of areas to camp, walk or take in the sites along the Great Ocean Road.
The walk offers a great activity for campers located in the Jamieson Creek Campground where toilets and BBQs are also available. Take the time to have a rest at seats provided along the way and take care crossing Wye Road.
Suitable for most ages and walkers with moderate fitness, this grade 3 walking track will take approximately 2 hours end to end.
No pets, bicycles or trailbikes are allowed on this track.
