Neighborhood
About the neighborhood
Our neighbourhood is very quiet being near the national park and located at the highest point in Anglesea.
There are lots of ironbark trees, wattles and interesting Australian native flowers around reflecting the environmental priorities of the Anglesea community .
Our street is removed from the activity surrounding the compact shopping precinct and Great Ocean Road traffic but close enough for convenient access .
There are some permanent residents in the street but there are lots of holiday homes such as ours.
Anglesea itself is a seasonal town bordered by national park on three sides and the ocean on the fourth.
A small sleepy coastal village for most of the year it becomes a hive of holidaymakers during summer and school holidays periods.
It hosts a wildflower exhibition and a music festival in spring with a one-act play contest in August.
Weekly riverbank markets are held throughout summer selling local produce and assorted goods.
There are a range of cafes and casual restaurants, a good medical clinic, supermarket, chemist, organic food store and other shops /services.
Anglesea is widely known for its amazing tree lined undulating 18-hole golf course complete with wild kangaroos. Pop into the club bar in the late afternoon for a drink and watch the kangaroos hop about with their joeys
Nearest Airport: Avalon (Geelong Domestic)and alsoTullamarine.(Melbourne International)
