Apollo Bay Museum

The museum collection is housed in the historic Cable Station built in 1936 as the mainland terminal to the first undersea telephone link to Tasmania.

Key themes of the museum include the story of the laying of telephone cable from Victoria to Tasmania, maritime history of the Apollo Bay coast, and local history of the Apollo Bay and Otway districts including construction of the Great Ocean Road.

It includes displays of relics from some of the shipwrecks and ships that were essentially the primary means of access before the Great Ocean Road and of the life of what was an extremely isolated community.
