An enchanting world of eucalypt trees, lush ancient rainforests and roaring waterfalls, the park covers over 100,000 hectares of the Great Ocean Road region between Anglesea and Cape Otway. It is fringed by a rugged coastline and studded with some of Victoria's most striking waterfalls, deep gullies full of ferns, some of the tallest trees in Australia including the messmate and the mountain ash and a wide range of native animals. At Maits Rest, a raised boardwalk takes visitors into the heart of the forest. The “Otway Fly” is an aerial walkway through the tops of some of the tallest trees in Australia. A guided tour of Lake Elizabeth offers the chance of seeing platypus in the wild.
