I am still mad keen on waterfalls and the Otways are both high and wet.
On Saturday we arrived fairly late after a leisurely start and a three hour drive. Our first destination was a section of rainforest near a village with the name of “Beech Forest”.
From where we left the car we followed this trail into the forest.
I paused to snap this little fellow, 
s/he is a species I don’t know and I haven’t taken the time to look him/her up.
Half a mile into the forest you round a corner and see this.
The remains of a steam engine. 
And nearby tramway trucks for carrying timber to the sawmill that once stood here.
You wouldn’t think it but all this forest is regrowth; 
a hundred years ago the whole area was clear felled.It will be hundreds of years before it is a mature forest, but nature has an amazing power to come back if it is left be.
A bit further down we came to this stream feeding into a narrow channel
and around the corner the reason we had come.The Triplet Falls
The stream divides into three channels which tumble as a triple fall.The star for me is the right hand fall which is…
Well the piccies say it all.
Now one last thing.
I am heading off for the next five days to my Mum’s place so it is more than likely I won’t post until next week.
