#565 The Redwoods Otways

The Redwoods Otways, Victoria, 🇦🇺 Australia

About this Stone

This serene forest of towering Californian redwood trees is nestled near the Aire River in the Great Otway National Park. Planted in 1936, these majestic giants now rise over 60 meters tall, creating a cool, shaded canopy that feels otherworldly. As you wander through soft pine-needle paths beneath the trees, you're surrounded by the gentle sounds of birds and flowing water. What makes this place remarkable is that these redwoods, though far from their native California, are among the tallest trees in Victoria and could potentially rival the height of the world's tallest trees if left undisturbed. It's a rare encounter with these magnificent giants in the Southern Hemisphere.
