| 説明 | Lorne. Pop 1,000.The Barwon River rises in the hills behind Lorne. Lorne is the best known coastal town along the Great Ocean Road which runs from Torquay to the Twelve Apostles near Port Campbell. The last section from Apollo Bay through the Otway Ranges to Port Campbell was only bituminised and completed in the 1980s. The road hugs the coast at the foot of the rugged rainforest covered Otway Ranges. In the 19th century Lorne was reliant on shipping for goods and service until a road was built across the ranges to Lorne. Worked only began in 1919 to carve a road west from Lorne towards Apollo Bay along the coastline as a Soldiers Memorial and the section from Anglesea to Lorne opened in 1932. This rugged coast has witnessed 25 shipwrecks but only two between Anglesea and Lorne. Timber cutters arrived to fell the forests here in 1849 but a land survey was not undertaken until 1869 and the village proclaimed in 1871. The coastal village was named to celebrate the marriage of Princess Louise and the Marquis of Lorne in that year. Lorne quickly became a major tourist destination as early visitors usually arrived by ship. The first of the great guest houses and hotels opened in Lorne in the 1870s. The three storey Grand Pacific near the pier opened in 1879. Access was only via ships landing at the pier although a track had been opened from Deansmarsh to Lorne in 1872. Erskine House hotel which began in the 1870s expanded into a large structure in 1939 after the opening of the Great Ocean Road. The earliest part was of the hotel was built in 1868 as the Mountjoy family home. They had established a pastoral run here in 1852. Their homestead grew into a guest house by the end of the 19th century and was expanded in 1939 to a design created by Geelong architects Buchan and Laird. It is the largest guest house in Victoria. Other 19th century structures in Lorne include the government school built in 1879 and added to in 1908; the wooden Anglican Church (188 Mountjoy Parade) erected in 1880 and relocated in 1884 when the chancel was added; and the timber framed Presbyterian Church (86 Mountjoy Parade) which was erected in 1892 and is now the Anglican Uniting Church. |
