Colac Freight Services

An hour west of Geelong at the doorstep of the Otway Ranges, Colac occupies the pivot point between Melbourne's western freight corridor and the Great Ocean Road tourism coast. QFM sends pallet, timber and trade loads into the town from all Australian capitals via the Princes Highway, with outbound pickups from Otway region senders arranged on request.

Otway hardwood milling, residential construction, retail and Colac Area Health institutional supply form the freight base. Carriers on the Melbourne–Warrnambool Princes Highway run pass through daily. Regional on-forwarding to Apollo Bay, Lorne, Camperdown and Warrnambool covers the Great Ocean Road corridor and western Victorian plains.
