Discover more about Port Campbell Suspension Bridge

The Port Campbell Suspension Bridge is a highlight of the Great Ocean Road region, providing access to breathtaking coastal scenery and walking trails. This impressive structure spans Campbell's Creek, linking the town of Port Campbell with the western headland and the Port Campbell Discovery Walk. The current bridge, completed in 2020, is actually the third suspension bridge to have been built at this location, each serving as a vital link for the community and visitors. Crossing the bridge provides access to a viewing platform and a 191-step staircase that leads to the Discovery Walk. This 4km return walk offers panoramic views of Sentinel Rock and the iconic Twelve Apostles. For those who prefer to avoid the stairs, an accessible car park on the Great Ocean Road, 2.2km from the town center, provides an alternative entry point to the cliff-top level of the Discovery Walk. The bridge itself is designed with accessibility in mind, featuring a 2-meter wide sealed path. The bridge has a gentle gradient and a surface of closely fitted timber boards, making it suitable for prams and wheelchairs. The pathway, bridge structure, and western viewing platform offer good visibility for all visitors. Interpretive signs along the path offer insights into the bridge's construction and its significance to the community. The area surrounding the bridge is rich in natural beauty and wildlife. The Port Campbell Discovery Walk is an excellent opportunity for wildlife spotting, especially around dawn and dusk. Keep an eye out for kangaroos, wallabies and various bird species.
