The Camperdown Bushwalking Club invites you to join them on a walk along the Old Beechy Line Rail Trail, and into Melba Gully in the Otways Forest. This walk is part of the Try Bushwalking Month, celebrating the 90th Anniversary of Bushwalking Victoria, the peak body representing 60+ bushwalking clubs across Victoria. THE WALK: We will walk through beautiful dense rainforest, ferns and farmland on a well-formed rail trail from Ferguson to Beech Forest. The Jewel of the Otways, Melba Gully, has Myrtle Beech, Blackwood, Tree-ferns and mosses to immerse yourself in. This walk involves 2 different areas and plenty of socialising.
DISTANCE: 4km - Old Beechy Line one-way that will take approx. 1hr, followed by a 1.2km loop walk through Melba Gully which will take around 30mins.
WHO IS THIS WALK FOR? This is a walk for beginners and anyone wanting to enjoy an easy walk in the Otway’s region. It’s a great way to explore tracks with the safety and support of a group.
ABOUT OUR CLUB: Camperdown Bushwalking Club seeks to promote walking, camping and related outdoor activities in natural environments. We offer a range of shorter walks to full-day hikes within an hour or two from Camperdown as well as multi–day hikes carrying all camping equipment. Trips also include multi-day base camps where we camp or stay in accommodation and complete day hikes. The Otways, Great Ocean Road, Grampians, Warrnambool, Port Fairy and the local Corangamite Shire are some of the areas we walk in. Sometimes we just enjoy a social meal, a BBQ, or a cuppa together. The club subscribes to minimal impact bushwalking values.
