Apollo Bay is pretty special and our caravan park in the background wasn't too shabby either.
I dunno.
Sometimes I think the ten grand you just paid the architect is bit off the mark.
The beautiful rainforest roadway into the Otway National Park is meant to calm you before the Otway Fly Treetop Adventure attacks you.
Ahhh yes that typical smarmy smile BEFORE you enter the rainforest canopy on a zip line.
Standing on the launching platform that surrounds the trees and looking twenty metres to the hard ground below. These are called the cloud stations that are placed from tree to tree.
There are six zip line stations throughout the forest with the longest distance being 120 metres.
I spent a few sleepless nights with sweating hands deciding whether to dice with old man death or not.
As you fly across the valley towards the next tree or cloud station, as they are called, it is reassuring to grab hold of that railing.
Michele and I hanging out way way up in the canopy.
The walk through the canopy is fantastic as well.
This section is about 30 metres out and is cantilevered.
Once you get to the end of the cantilever the swaying movement of the structure is a wee bit challenging.
This lookout station is about 150 feet about ground level and while we stood there, with minimal wind, it still swayed enough to put that brave smile on your face and comment on how lovely the view was before we scurried down the 106 spiralling steps.
