Deans Marsh

Deans Marsh is a rural village 4 km north of the Otway State Forest and 27 km east of Colac. It is at the junction of the roads from Colac and Winchelsea where they converge southwards to Lorne, on the coastal side of the Otways range. Deans Marsh was probably named after Charles Dean, who held a grazing licence in the area from about 1846.
