Otway Fly, VictoriaIf by some miracle you are travelling down the Great Ocean Road and get sick of the scenery ... well, that won't happen ... but you may need to stretch your legs and we have just the place.

It is just out of Lavers Hill in the Otway Ranges and it is a terrific spot where you can leave driving, car fumes and kids' complaints behind you and relax amid serene temperate rainforest.

It is Otway Fly Treetop Adventures and the operation offers you two main things to enjoy.

There is the guided Zipline Tour, a 3.5 hour experience of whizzing through the trees and forest on a harness - much like a flying fox.

The eco tour includes 2.5 hours of Zip Line activity, which includes training and simulation, in which you fly from platforms - eight in all - which are called cloud stations. You can just imagine the excitement at zipping 30m off the ground on six flights and crossing two suspension bridges.

There is also a one hour Treetop Walk.

Otway Fly, VictoriaIf you are nervous or have a heart condition the Zipline Tour, which is the only one in Victoria, is rated medium on the adrenalinometer.

The Otway Fly's Treetop Walk is a really enjoyable and certainly more relaxing way to see Victoria's flora.

You begin your treetop journey on ground level with a very pleasant walk through some gorgeous treescapes.

Along the way kids, both small and large, will almost certainly encounter dinosaurs on the Prehistoric Path.

Otway Fly, VictoriaAfter a little more than half a kilometre you reach the treetop walkway - a steel structure that will let you walk among the forest's canopy.

The floor of the pathway is steel grating that allows you to see what is going on below you. Easy at the start but if you have height issues then you may want to hold on to the handrails as the walkway reaches 30 metres above the ground.

If heights are not a problem for you then climb the lookout tower - which rises another 17 metres above the forest floor. I must admit it took me a minute or so to get used to the height from the top.

For the truly adventurous you can head out on to the cantilever platform - which not only moves up and down with each step but the end panel is clear perspex!

Otway Fly, VictoriaThe first time did it some years ago it had me sweating, but the last time was a breeze.

At 600m long, the Otway Fly's Treetop Walk is the longest and highest of its type in the world.

1 hour rainforest walk experience that is approx 2km in total and features a 600mt long and 30mt high steel structured treetop canopy walkway that takes you right into the treetops.

It’s the longest and tallest walkway of its type in the world! Included in this walk is the kids Prehistoric Path – where there is a dinosaur around every corner!

Otway Fly Hours
Open every day 9am – 5pm. Last entry to tree top walk is 4pm.
