With school holidays almost here, our region offers a wealth of options for families to both escape their homes and help our local businesses, all without having to listen to your kids incessantly asking \u201care we there yet?\u201d.<\/h3>\n

Lorne is a fantastic place to factor into any plans for holiday adventures, with a great variety of natural attractions and outdoor activities in and around the town, to go with its enticing range of cafes, restaurants and specialty shops.
\nFrom the stunning beaches and headlands up into the beautiful hills and forests, there is a multitude of walking and hiking opportunities for short strolls, longer treks and everything in between, all ideal for tiring out active young and older bodies surrounded by the space, fresh air and splendour of nature.
\nDid you know there are 10 waterfalls within 10km of the Lorne village? The kids will love the adventure of following the trails and jumping from rock to rock as they explore the stunning waterfall scenery, while potentially spotting local wildlife along the way.
\nFor a leisurely experience, wander along the beach to the Lorne Pier where you can enjoy some takeaway food and take in the spectacular view. Along the way, you\u2019ll see the colourful and lively little worlds in the rock pools, and maybe even spot a manta ray, seal or whale. Plus there have been many dolphin sightings lately!
\nFor guaranteed energy-burning, there is the Lorne Sea Baths trampolines, the foreshore adventure playground and skate park, or for adrenaline-charged experiences, the range of all-age challenges offered at Live Wire Park.
\nBest of all, if you want any help with ideas or planning, the friendly local staff from the Lorne Visitor Information Centre<\/a> are just a free phone call away.
\nAs visitor information co-ordinator Evelyn Whitelaw says: \u201cWe offer expert local advice over the phone about the most popular walking trails and a few secret ones too. Plus we have all the up-to-the-minute advice you need about how our activities and attractions are operating and the best way to enjoy our local caf\u00e9s and restaurants. Give us a call and we can help you plan your perfect school holiday adventure.\u201d<\/p>\n
