About Great Otway National Park

Otway National Park is the biggest area of temperate rainforest in southern Australia. The reason for the word "Great" in the name is because the park is an amalgamtion of Otway National Park and a number of state parks and reserves. Located on the famous Great Oean Road south-west of Melbourne, the park offers treks through temperate rainforest, a number of scenic waterfalls, and the chance to see Australian wildlife like koalas and kangaroos.

Erskine Falls photoWhile the park is on the famed Great Ocean Road which is more famous for its coastal attractions, many tourists also head inland to Otway to experience the temperate rainforest and wildlife. The park is also considered an "Important Bird Area" (IBA) with its myriad of colourful bird species.

Other features of this park include: beaches, rock formations, and heathland. The park extends from Torquay to Princetown and into the hinterland near Colac.
