Melba Gully Otways Vic

A few kilometres SW of Lavers Hill on the Great Ocean Rd a bitumen road leads down to the reserve. This is a wonderful place to visit, a track leads well into the rainforest down to the creeks with towering old growth trees blotting out the sunlight. There are toilets, shelters and picnic tables, few people seem to take the trouble to come in here.

No camping is allowed here, but I have seen people camp in their vehicles overnight.
