DAY 4 - Aire River to Johanna Beach (13 km walk)
Walkers cross the Aire River and join the coast at Sentinel Rock Lookout. There are lots of koalas in
the manna gums at Aire River and excellent coastal views throughout the day. The track touches the
Great Ocean Road at Castle Cove, a good spot for lunch, then continues inland through an isolated
section of the Great Otway National Park to Johanna Beach Lookout. The walk along the beach on
soft sand is a hard way to end the day.
Trekking along Johanna Beach into a strong headwind
DAY 5 - Johanna Beach to Ryan's Den (14 km walk)
Walkers start from Johanna Beach and soon start moving inland through farming country. There are
many hills, both up and down, in this section, with excellent views around Milanesia Beach. A visit
to the Ryan's Den Lookout is worthwhile.
