Koalas and Ottway National Park

We continued up the Great Ocean Road and stopped by a little café for coffee. Normally this stop isn’t worth writing about, but we got to see two koalas in the wild. They were in some eucalyptus trees near the driveway to the café. Supposedly it is getting more and more rare to see these quiet animals away from a zoo. We also stopped to walk in Ottway National Park on the Maits Rest Rainforest Walk. This was an amazing walk through a temperate rainforest. The overwhelming green, moss, and dampness of place was quite an experience. The picture below shows the rainforest with Mary Ellen and Andy leading the way.
