Great
Otway National Park Hikes
From 2 hours to a full day, join local guides to learn about our
native animals and plants, Aboriginal bushfoods and the natural
& human pressures that affect the landscape. The Great Otway
National Park has plenty of great walking tracks that lead through
heathlands, eucalypt forests, temperate rainforest, beaches, rivers
and cliff tops.
Perhaps we can lead your group on a walk from camp to the beach,
learning about traditional bushfoods and medicine plants along
the way. We can also talk about Anglesea’s dramatic Alcoa
coal mine from a lookout, look for signs and traces of native
animals, discuss human impacts and land management, and talk about
our Indigenous people’s involvement with the land.
Bushwalks will be tailored to you group’s abilities, timeframe,
accommodation, and content requirements and may be used to link
your other camp activities. Save money and resources by walking,
instead of taking the bus!
