Melways: 

484 A 5

Directions: 

Approaching from Melbourne via the M1, take the left hand lanes into Geelong, A10 (not the ring road). The Bellarine Highway B110 is the best way to get to Ocean Grove. Care needs to be taken to follow the signage for the B110 going through Geelong as the road has a couple of bends. The intersection of Grubb Road and Bellarine Hwy is marked by a big roundabout with Fagg's Mitre10 on the left side of the highway and a golf course/adventure park to the right. Turn right into Grubb Rd and travel 1.9 km to the entrance of the reserve. There is a brown and white tourist sign before the turnoff. If you get as far as the Kingston shopping centre you've gone too far. Follow the unmade road within the reserve for about 500 metres until you reach the car park with picnic facilities and toilets. We will spend the morning in the reserve and have lunch there. After lunch we will drive to Begola Wetlands and park in Tuckfield Road. If time permits we will also visit Blue Waters Lake. There are no toilets at these last two locations but there are some at the shopping centre and surf beach. Bring lunch, afternoon tea and a folding chair.
