“I love any chance to take a trip along The Great Ocean Road and take in the beautiful scenery with every twist and turn.

“We filmed the golf course at Lorne’s Country Club – I’d never been here before so taking in that view was quite spectacular!

“We also went down to the pier, which looked like such a serene spot to park yourself and watch the waves roll in and it got exciting when we saw a big manta ray swim underneath the pylons.

“While there are lots of great foodie destinations in Lorne and plenty of new buzzy restaurants opening, you also can’t go wrong with a classic pie from the Great Ocean Road Bakery.”

The episode heads to some of Lorne’s most popular attractions, including the Lorne Pier.

 

The ‘stunning seaside towns and inner-city delights’ Postcards episode will premiere on Channel 9 and 9 Now at 5:30pm this Sunday (May 14).
