#625 Maits Rest Rainforest Walk
Maits Rest Rainforest Walk, Victoria, 🇦🇺 Australia
About this Stone
This serene and accessible walking trail winds through the Great Otway National Park, offering a rich glimpse into one of Australia's most pristine temperate rainforest ecosystems. Well-maintained boardwalks and gravel paths guide you through towering myrtle beeches and lush ferns beneath a cool, damp canopy. At only about 800 meters long, it's ideal for families and casual walkers, yet the forest holds remarkable depth—some of the trees here are over 300 years old, creating habitat for rare species like the Otway black snail, a carnivorous species found nowhere else on Earth. The stone awaits among the ancient trees; watch out for spider webs as you search.
