Colac
Colac is situated 150km south-west of Melbourne on the Princes Highway. It has a population of approximately 11,000, with another 10,000 in the surrounding shire. At the eastern edge of the world's third largest volcanic plain, surrounded by a landscape of lakes and volcanic craters, this Western District city is the centre of one of Australia's richest farming areas.
The city is on the shore of Lake Colac, one of more than 50 freshwater and saltwater lakes in the area. Motorists can drive around the Botanic Gardens located on the banks of the lake which is the largest natural freshwater lake in the State and popular for water sports and also only a short drive to the Great Ocean Road and the popular resort of Lorne.
