WMC Wild Dog Observation Site

Active Mouth Condition Apollo Bay

On Great Ocean Road. 400m East of bridge at Wild Dog Creek.

16/9/22 Review - the risk of traffic on the bridge makes this an unsafe site to monitor from.


Site is on a bank looking toward mouth and to the east. Enter via Great Ocean Road near bridge. Exact point is next to hooded plover signage (carpark entry 4kms east from Apollo Bay).
