Great and beautiful rain forest! This is the kind of places that I don’t wanna leave when I go.

The picnic area is wheelchair accessible but there are leaves and moss on the track

Magical. We decided to go during the day to work out where we would be going in the dark to find the glow worms. Good decision, as we managed to explore much more during the day...if goblins and fairies had popped out I wouldn't have been surprised. And at night we went along the easier path but were still able to enjoy the twinkly lights of the glow worms.

Stopped here on the way to the great ocean road and it was really good. There is a circular path where you can get to see the fauna of the place . Easy trail and also a river present

Beautiful rainforest walk! Lovely at dusk but particularly spectacular once it’s dark and the glow worms come out.We found the glow worms started to show around 9pm (day light savings time) once it was really dark outside. They were most prominent near the waterfall.Be mindful of using a torch as the glow worms are sensitive to the light and will turn off their glow.10/10 worth the visit!!Walk time around 40 min.

Nice quiet picnic spot with toilets and plenty of parking. The track is 35mins return with some steep steps in part and then a steep decline. Some trees had fallen across the track and we had to climb over them to continue. Doesn't look like it gets maintained very often but still a lovely spot for nature photography.

It's like walking in Tasi rainforests. Thick with ferns, trees, tree ferns and wonderfully wet.This short trail winds down into the valley to the stream and cute cascade then up thw other side before looping back to tue start.Lovely picnic area with gas bbq and toilets.

Had place to ourselves and waited till dark to see flow worms and was not disappointed. Look to sides under ferns. Path to cascadewas easy. Path near cascades up stairs more challenging but still fun at night.

We loved the thrill of walking after the forest is pitch black... Take torch lights with you but use mobile screen light to view your path. Try not to flash on the walls of the bush...when you reach the wooden look out area turn off any lights and look for glow worms . They are like tiny stars. They are tiny little brown worms with glowing tail or head I'm not too sure. The size of the worm is just like a grain of a basmati rice.Kids would love the thrill and enjoy the walk.

The park needs cleaning but otherwise was a really good experience of seeing the glow worms around 9:30ish. The frustrating part was the paid tour that was there and told us we are annoying for the reason that me and my partner was looking for each other within the darkness (we were not part of the tour, we just walked with them because it was peach black).Not the nicest experience so far being in Victoria.
