The Otway Fly

As we traveled this weekend we also went to an area called the Otway Ranges. This is an area that is a rain forest. The foliage was absolutely breath taking. We drove over a little hill and the whole drive was in the same kind of foliage as you can see in the pictures. The pictures really don't do the area justice. We went to an area called The Otway Fly, a rain forest with amazing plants and trees. There was a walk way that took us up into the trees. We got to the tower and went up as high as the eucalyptus trees. It reminded me a lot of the redwood forest that we saw a couple of years ago, minus the redwood trees. I read a sign at the Otway fly that talked about the Koori an aboriginal tribe that lived in the area. They lived in these beautiful forests. If I was an Aborigine I would defiantly chose this area to live instead of the outback. This area is close to the ocean just a few miles away from The Great Ocean Road, which is what the road on the coast is called. This is such a beautiful place it is hard to imagine that just on the other side of the hill is the ocean on one side and on the other side of the hill there is a draught with very dry died land.
