All about Drysdale
With lush farmland, rolling hills, scenic wineries, and beaches and bays nearby, Drysdale is brimming with rural charms. Sitting on the Bellarine Peninsula, about 100 kilometres southeast of Melbourne, Drysdale is located on the original Bellarine Peninsula Railway line. You can take scenic train excursions between Drysdale and Queenscliff, which provide stunning views over Swan Bay, the Bellarine Hills, and Port Phillip Bay. The Bellarine Rail Trail is also a favourite among cyclists, following the railway line that stretches from Geelong to Queenscliff. The gentle climbs offer beautiful coastal views, steep cliffs, sandy beaches, and sweeping vineyards — the town is home to award-winning wineries producing a variety of cool-climate wines, including pinot grigio, chardonnay, and cabernet.
Originally a potato farming community, Drysdale continues to be known for its beautiful natural scenery and wildlife. Lake Lorne — a small freshwater lake southwest of town — is a popular bird-watching site famous for its variety of waterbirds. Drysdale is also a popular access point for scenic drives along the Great Ocean Road to Bells Beach and the Great Otway lighthouse.

Bellarine Rail Trail
The Bellarine Rail Trail is a walking and cycling trail that stretches 35 kilometres from South Geelong to Queenscliff, following the historic Geelong to Queenscliff railway line.

For those not wanting to walk or cycle the return, the Bellarine Railway offers return service and bike storage.
