"It’s lush. It’s green. It’s one of the most heart-stirring places you can find and quite unlike any other place in Victoria. This little pocket of rainforest (the cool temperate kind) is one of the last remaining in the state. In this secret land, it’s as if you’ve unknowingly taken the “Drink Me” potion: walking trails are dwarfed by giant ferns and towering mountain ash trees. Fronds of ancient myrtle beech stretch from either side of the path creating an emerald canopy pierced by thin shafts of sunlight. Breathe in the fresh, sweet smell of the chocolatey soil underfoot, to the soundtrack of trickling streams and the call of a distant lyrebird."

Tarra Bulga National Park - go for a hike in the cool rainforest and see the giant mountain ash trees. Listen to the the lyrebirds callout below the suspension bridge and then take the second walk to Cyathea Falls. On your way back to the farm, make sure to stop at Fernholme for Devonshire tea and give their Cockatoo a scratch.
This has to be one of Gippsland’s most iconic walks, and it’s one of the most family-friendly. It’s a great walk to take in the flora and fauna of the Strzelecki Ranges, and a walk over Corrigan’s Suspension Bridge is the must-do jewel in the crown.
