From the travel guide. Select a place for details, a map and what is nearby.
Secluded bay with great views.
Well preserved waterfalls. Stairs lead to a viewing platform very close to the foot of the waterfall.
Waterfall beside Sheoak Creek. Definitely worth a visit if you've the time.
A boarded walk through the forest will give you a good taste of the park with not too much effort. The 800-metre trail can be completed in about half an hour.
Elevated walkway and zipwire through the rainforest canopy.
Aire Valley Restaurant has its own restaurant garden where it grows its own vegetables, herbs and fruits. While you are driving the Great Ocean Road your dinner is still growing. Dinner 6-10PM. Lunch by arrangement.
Good quality and reasonably priced food.
Bird-feeding gardens are right beside the tearooms. This is a great place to see beautiful king parrots and crimson rosellas coming in from the wild. There are some short paths through the gardens.
This campground is very close to not one, but two falls; Sheoak and Erskine Falls, two stunning waterfalls that deserve a visit each in its own right.
The quickest way to get to this park is via car, from a two hour drive from Melbourne via the Princes Fwy and Great Ocean Road. There aren't any flights to Great Otway National Park though, nor are there V/line trains.
Read in the guideThe park spans up to 40 km from east to west and a similar distance from north to south and is relatively unpopulated.
