Bushwalking

After seeing the falls, take some time to see Swallow Cave, and stop at Castle Rock to take in the spectacular ocean views.Erskine Falls are just a few minutes drive inland from Lorne and you can park right above them. It is only a short walk down to the base of the 32 metre falls.
For a walk in a true rainforest, visit Otway National Park. The walk takes approximately 45 minutes return, and winds through tree fern gullies and lush rainforest trees. The wooden boardwalk provides a fantastic vantage point from which to view the forest and its animals. The walk begins at Maits Rest carpark, near Apollo Bay.
