Anglesea

Anglesea is a town in Victoria, Australia. It is located on the Great Ocean Road in the Surf Coast Shire local government area. Anglesea is positioned at the base of the Otway Ranges and extends back into the surrounding bushland.

The town's golf-course is known for its resident kangaroo population. Each September Anglesea hosts the Angair Wildflower Festival. Alcoa of Australia operate a power station and open-cut coalmine in the town which is set back behind the town and concealed by the bush. There is a surge in population during the Summer months, reaching a peak around Christmas and New Year's Eve, as many Melbourne residents arrive for the holiday season. Although the town's main beach has surfing conditions, many surfers opt for Government Beach (known as "Guvvo's") just west of town. Anglesea is also famous locally for its annual riverbank markets, which take place by the river on Anglesea's main street, the Great Ocean Road.

There are a number of attractions in and around Anglesea including Anglesea Golf Course, Alcoa Power Station, Coogorrah Park, Native Orchids and Point Roadknight.
