Discover Peterborough — The Great Ocean Road’s Hidden Gem
Peterborough is a small, peaceful country town that has retained its authentic charm.
Unlike many coastal destinations, it has not been heavily developed or commercialised —
making it one of the few remaining untouched towns along the Great Ocean Road.
Its beauty lies in its simplicity: wide open spaces, dramatic cliffs, and an atmosphere of calm
that feels completely contrary to the rush of city life.
Peterborough offers a rare chance to experience the coast as it once was — natural, relaxed, and refreshingly genuine.
