Colac: Travel by road
Colac is on the Princes Highway, the A1, approximately two hours driving time southwest from Melbourne, and one hour travelling west from Geelong. The highway between Geelong and Melbourne is a six-lane freeway completed in the early 2000s, while the road between Geelong and Colac is mostly two-lane with occasional passing lanes in both directions. There is considerable local agitation to have this section of the road upgraded to two separate pairs of lanes in each direction.
