4K Maits Rest Rainforest Walk Great Ocean Road AUSTRALIA Part 5 オーストラリア

A spectacular rainforest boardwalk for everybody. Forming part of the Otway Ranges National Park, Maits Rest sits about 15 minutes from Apollo Bay along the Great Ocean Road. A selection of boardwalks and gravel paths that take you around a 45-minute walking route. As you go, you can soak up the lush valley floor, the ancient trees that soar skywards, and the collection of tree ferns and moss that cover the forest floor like something out of a fairytale.
A wooden boardwalk has been built over the tree-fern gullies and moss covered roots, providing a unique view of the forest.
The areas surrounding the Great Ocean Road are thick with lush rainforest and plenty of hiking trails to explore. As you go, you can look out for native wildlife, ancient plant life, and spectacular scenery while learning more about the creatures and their habitats.
You’ll notice there are lots of beech trees here, many of which are hundreds of years old and form an important part of the Otway National Park. Keep your eyes peeled for birds, too, as there are around 43 different species that aren’t found anywhere else in the world.
The Maits Rest walk is best-known for its stunning natural beauty and its unique view of the forest.
