About Apollo Bay Hawks Football Netball Club
Origins and Founding
The Apollo Bay Football Netball Club was founded in 1935 and played in the Polwarth Football League for several decades before that competition disbanded. In 1972, the Hawks joined the Colac and District Football Netball League (CDFNL), where they have competed ever since. Based on Victoria's iconic Great Ocean Road, the Hawks bring together the tight-knit communities of the Apollo Bay area each season in what is one of the most scenic sporting settings in regional Victoria.

Club History and Premierships
The Hawks have won two CDFNL senior football premierships, in 1984 and 2004. The 2004 grand final was a commanding performance: Apollo Bay defeated Lorne 23.17 (155) to 12.11 (83), winning by 72 points. The club celebrated the 1984 and 2004 premiership sides together at a reunion in May 2024. Apollo Bay has also achieved success in CDFNL netball competitions, with the women's program a strong part of the club's overall identity.

Notable Players
Rahni Buchanan stands as one of the Hawks' most celebrated players. He won five club best and fairest awards during his time at Apollo Bay, played in three CDFNL premierships, kicked seven goals in the 2004 grand final, and captained the side in 2006 and 2007. Buchanan was also recognised in the CDFNL All-Time Top 20 Players list, cementing his place as one of the league's finest performers of his era.

Home Ground
The Hawks play their home games at the Apollo Bay Recreation Reserve, which overlooks the bay from its position in the heart of town. The reserve serves as the central sporting facility for Apollo Bay, hosting both football and netball throughout the season. The combination of a working fishing harbour and the Otway Ranges as a backdrop makes the ground one of the most distinctive in regional Victoria.

Apollo Bay and the Great Ocean Road
Apollo Bay is a coastal town situated along the Great Ocean Road in the Colac Otway Shire of Victoria, roughly 180 kilometres southwest of Melbourne. The town recorded a population of 1,790 in the 2021 Census and is one of the most visited stops on the Great Ocean Road corridor, which attracts more than seven million visitors annually. Known for its fishing harbour, Otway Ranges hinterland, and strong community character, Apollo Bay's year-round population is supplemented by significant seasonal tourism.
The Hawks compete in the Colac and District Football Netball League and call the Apollo Bay Recreation Reserve home.
