Workation in Torquay: the essentials
Rip Curl and Quiksilver both started in Torquay, and Bells Beach, just down the road, hosts the world's longest-running professional surf contest every Easter. The town of about 18,500 on Bass Strait lies 21 km south of Geelong, at the point where the Great Ocean Road begins, and has grown into a commuter and sea-change town. It also has an Australian surfing museum, and Jan Juc next door has breaks for most levels. Summer holidays and Easter bring heavy traffic, nightlife is minimal and winter in the water is cold. Melbourne Avalon Airport is about 35 km away.
