PRINCETOWN

Introduction

Between the western boundary of the Otway National Park and the eastern boundary of the Port Campbell National Park, Princetown is ideally suited for touring both.
Situated on the La Trobe Ck. near Gellibrand River, the surrounding limestone cliffs contain interesting fossils and formations. Gemstones can sometimes be found along the coastline, and the area is rich in flora and fauna. Foxes, echidnas, wallabies and kangaroos can all be seen, and the nearby Deer and Wildlife Park is well worth a visit.
Princetown was named after Prince Albert and was proclaimed in 1885.
