From Above the Rainforest

Otway National Park extends for miles East of Melbourne, on the coast. We did the Otway Fly Treetop Walk on a beautiful afternoon, while driving on the Great Ocean Road. The walk sometimes 25 meters above the forest is surprising because it puts you face to face with trees and shows you the unseen side of trees shorter than the suspended path, yet, taller than you when you walk around them on the ground. This is how the fern tree gully looks like from above (see picture). The forest is full of Myrtle Beech, Mountain Ash and eucalyptus. Crimson rosellas fly around together with wrens and robins.
