Loop

Today, we headed inland to complete a loop back to the coast. We set off bright and early heading towards Lavers Hill. Our first stop was a lovely walk through the rainforest to the Triplet falls. The falls were really nice and the sunlight peaking between the trees made everything look a little eerie.

Afterwards we visited the tree top walk with a zip wire course through the upper forest. As we had just done a wonderful walk to Triplet falls, we couldn't justify parting with the entrance fee. We moved on to the Redwood forest ...

The trees were huge and there were some people there filming with a weird machine called an octocopter. It looked like 8 mini helicopters attached to an SLR camera. They were filming a friend walking through the trees carrying his surfboard!

From here we continued to Maits Rest to walk through a rainforest containing 300 year old trees. Next, we visited the lighthouse at Cape Otway and took a short walk along The Great Ocean walking track.

We drove on to set up camp at Johanna beach, which was a lovely site by the sea.
