Otway Fly is a commercially operated rain forest walk. In contrast to the other walks, it has a 25 metre high elevated walkway and costs money. It's interesting, but very touristy.

This is a wildlife park on the road between Melba Gully and the Apostles. Unfortunately, I didn't note the name. It's on the north side just before a sharp left-hand curve when heading west.

Mount Leura is just outside Camperdown, to the south-west. The main purpose of this visit was to get a panorama of the surrounding countryside.
