Otway Fly Treetop Walk

At the start of the treetop walk is Sam with some tall timbers behind him. Mountain Ash, Myrtle Beech, & Blackwood are the dominant trees in this forest. The Mountain Ash are the tallest flowering plant in the world and can grow to 100m...















This fine example of Blackwood tree doesn't reach the heights of the Mountain Ash but was sought after for the texture and colour of the timber used mainly for furniture...
















The start of the steel walkway some 40 metres high. Trees still taller in the background...
The walk takes about an hour and at the end has a 600m steel walkway and viewing platform...

















The Princess at the tower top...














Joey, Tom, & Sam on the walkway looking down from the treetop viewing tower...
