The Otways

Overview

Some of Australia's best rainforest scenery can be found in the Otway Ranges, located behind Lorne and Apollo Bay along the Great Ocean Road. Walk among enormous trees and giant tree ferns at Maits Rest, see ancient and intricate plant life, lush ferns and mosses at Melba Gully or experience the full beauty of the rainforest on the Otway Fly, a 600 metre long, 25 metre high elevated tree top walk. Discover gushing waterfalls in the Otways' narrow valleys, ranging from the impressive sheer drop of Erskine Falls to more secluded waterfalls over fern-fringed pools. Dramatic cliffs and beaches can also be found along the shore. Visit wild Johanna Beach where towering cliffs frame the pristine sandy beach or the isolated and incredibly beautiful Blanket Bay. Another highlight along the coast is the Gable Lookout, offering stunning views back to Moonlight Head.
