If you want to have a walk, it takes around 30-40 minutes to do a loop, it depends on how much time you take to see around. If you are lucky, you could see Koalas, although it is not easy as this is a rain forest.
The ferns are amazing, and they are all well managed along the tracks. It is a good idea to have warm clothes as it might get cool inside the rain forest. Nature lovers, you will love this one!

Beautiful waterfall, set at the base of a long steep staircase. Be prepared the way down is deceptively easy, but coming up is quite a slog. There are places to pause on the way up, so if you need that extra gasp you can enjoy the view. If you are really not up to it there is an upper level viewing platform. Once at the bottom, definitely follow the signs and don't cross over the stream and don't take pictures of the spectacular views at the bottom.

We found 7 wild koala near the entrance of national park. Moreover, we also see national flower of Australia - the golden wattle. 5 stars

Amazing place . These Redwoods are so tall like 30 metres & upwards .
Be very careful on the dirt roads particularly in wet conditions if your gps sends you down the short route .
Lush & green . Brilliant

Amazing experience to see natural forces carving out (eroding now) apostles!
You'll literally get blown away (too windy, same as 8 years ago)

A great nature to this awesome park. Trees are of few hundred years old. Very good to have a walk through in this park. It is also very near to the 12 Apostles which you can drive to. Love it!! Is it a natural beauty.

I didn't expect this. I left the Ocean and headed to Great Otway National Park. I read very little of this place and had no expectations. I found myself surrounded with pristine rainforests, magnificent waterfalls and tranquil lakes. So many epic free camps, right near waterfalls, incredible views and towering trees. I soon realized this place is very special and was the icing on the cake to finish off our Great Ocean Road road trip. The Beauchamp Falls Campground is beautiful. There're just a few spots for cars, I caught a spot and had a fabulous view. One of my favorite camping spots so far.

The forest is a great place to enjoy the fresh air and the smell of pine needles. The trees are old and tall, but it's worth the hike.

Very nice walk through the walkway at otway national park, there is a 1km walkway here where you can have a look at talk timber trees some as old as 200 years old. Pretty amazing and also comfortable walk
Very recommended if you’re near the 12 apostles
As a person who loves nature I really liked this walk

Beautiful greenery with lots of ferns at Triplet Falls. Great for walking as the trees provide shade. However, the view of the Triplet Falls is obscured by trees at the viewing platform.

We wished we had more time to explore this forest.
Lots of little picnic areas and lush greenery. The beautiful weather down this part of the world allows for the falls to always be flowing.
The redwood forest was something we feasted our eyes on it was absolutely amazing and a sight to behold.
The roads are winding and when driving through the forest always go slow and be very vigilant.

Nice and beautiful place, the camping area is well maintained with car park and even public toilet. You should not have high expectations from that toilets as it is in middle of the jungle and difficult to maintain. The camping area is 2.5 kms walking distance from a beautiful water fall. So, in the morning you can plan a walk up to the waterfall by passing through the beautiful jungle.

Great Otway National Park is part of an Aboriginal cultural landscape.
Do the whole walk in eight days or tackle it in sections on weekends away. Adding the walk to Surf coast walk over 44km from Torquay to Aireys inlet.
You have to pass and see the stunning coast between Apollo Bay and the twelve Apostles!
