This remarkable stand of the world’s tallest tree species have thrived in Otway soil, far from their native California. Towering on the sheltered river flat at the Aire Valley Plantation, these Sequoia Sempervirens Trees were originally planted in 1936 by Victorian foresters for experimental purposes. While still in their youthful growth phase, the Otway Redwoods may one day claim the title of tallest trees in the world. A walk for the first time between the massive trunks flanking the river creates a special feeling of awe and reverence – not to be missed.

Within the heart of the Otways, on the banks of the Aire River south of Beech Forest surrounded by the native eucalypts, stands a spectacular forest of Californian Redwoods (Sequoia sempervirens). This 85 year old plantation of Californian Redwoods has become a favourite local picnic area, the mu ed sound and lack of undergrowth provides an interesting contrast to the native wet forest that adorns the opposite bank of the Aire River. Thriving in Otway soil, far from their native California, The Redwoods were originally planted in 1936 by Victorian foresters for experimental purposes. A walk for the rst time between the massive trunks anking the river creates a special feeling of awe and reverence - not to be missed. Also along Binns Road and within close driving proximity to The Redwods are Hopetoun Falls and Beauchamp Falls, both highly recommended to visit while in the region. Visitors travelling further south across the Aire River en route to the Great Ocean Road via Binns Road should be aware of general rough conditions and lots of log trucks at certain times of the year. Walk: 500m return | Time: 15 mins | Di culty: Easy

A beautiful spot off the tourist trail where you can wander amongst the towering sequoias. Have a barbecue next to the river and enjoy nature at its finest.
