A short drive from Apollo Bay is the beautiful forest walk of Mait's Rest.Its an easy 20-30 minute walk,although its only a short walk its worth doing.

We walked this during the day which was gat (even though it was raining at the time). Then we went back at night to hunt for glow worms. We met some tourists walking back to the car park who said they had not seen any. However, I think patience and silence is the key, as when we turned our torches off in one spot, we saw quite a few.

Lovely little forest hike through tree ferns and fragrant bush with boardwalks and handrails in some places. Very peaceful and enriching.

in complete agreement with review of Goulds of Derby - a great little family or lazy person's rainforest walk, with tall trees, big ferns, and interesting info boards just off the Great Ocean Road - well worth a short stop.

Very old and beautiful ferns. Lovely board walk. Easy to access from B100 just look for sign. Do not miss this free treat.

This place was great even with a young family, the kids enjoyed it and we got some great pics.Awesome forest and has a great history!

Well worth taking a half hour max to park and do this walk. Wonderful undergrowth, informative signs and pretty much wheelchair and pushchair friendly on the whole. If you like nature then it's a must. It was recommended to us by the tourist information along the Great Ocean Road. It's a good change from the beaches.

This is a stunning unspoilt rainforest walk. It is only around 40 mins all up and plunges you into pristine rainforset. My little kids were able to manage it well and at one point they thought they saw fairies! Well worth the leg stretch on the way to the 12 Apostles. Melba Gully in Lavers Hill, is also very beautiful and at night we saw glow worms there which was an amazing experience.

Definitely worth doing. This rainforest walk is about a kilometer return and is mostly on a boardwalk. Easy to push a stroller or wheelchair.

Forest walks what else is there to say? Beautiful trees, under growth, tree ferns, old trees, moss and cool. Very old tree worth the short walk to see. Easy walk

It is so incredibly beautiful (I really like forrests) and it should not be missed while visiting the Great Ocean Road. Take care when walking as it can be a bit slippery at some places.

It was raining gently when we arrived but with our jackets on we headed off. There are a few stairs to negotiate but it was a lovely, peaceful and beautiful walk. Hardly anyone there even on a Sunday. Scenery is nice but nothing spectacular.
