Rainforest + Waterfalls
Mist cloaked fern glades; ghostly mountain ash and the crystal crash of waterfalls adorn the western Otway Ranges.
The deepest wettest gullies host the westernmost extremity of rainforest in southern Australia. Remnant of a time when the land was connected to Antarctica and the primordial sounds of dinosaurs filled the air.
Access the emerald depths at a selection of rainforest and waterfall trails and lookouts within the Great Otway National Park or suspend yourself in the canopy atop the Otway Fly Treetop Walk.
Visitors travelling east or west on the Great Ocean Road through Port Campbell will appreciate the distinct contrast in flora from rainforest to the wind carved coastal heath.
Melba Gully just 25 minutes east of Princetown is a host to one of our nightly wildlife shows (glow worms)
