Our last road trip. Bernie and Kristian had wanted to take us to the Otways all year and we finally found a time we could all get there together. The Otway Fly Treetop Adventures offers ziplining, but on this misty morning we opted for the only slightly less adventurous treetop walk. To know there was a rainforest just 2 hours from where we live in temperate southern Victoria is amazing. Like most natural phenomenons we have experienced in Australia, it did not disappoint. "
Otway Fly Tree Top Walk is the highest (25 m) and longest (600 m) walk of its type in the world. It is able to withstand 280km/h winds."

| The four of us, lurking... |

| I think that's Andy taunting me as he walked the cantilever on his own. |
There was also lots to see up close.

| Kangaroo fern |
 |
| Many a fungi |

| Kristian took this with his fancy camera. Beautiful. |
On our way home we stopped along the coast. This closed a loop for us. Bernie and Kristian took us out to the Great Ocean Road for the first time our second week here. Andy and I noted as we walked along the throngs of tourists at the Twelve Apostles that we felt a bit territorial. Who were these people tromping over our paths along the coast? It was a fantastic day and a fitting final trip.
