Magic at Otway Fly

Magic at Otway Fly

This summer, Otway Fly Treetop Adventures will be transformed into a magical fairy wonderland and children from all across the land will be able to help our little fairy and elf friends find their treetop homes.

Ten fairy homes, which have been lovingly built by our friends at Men’s Shed Colac, will be scattered throughout the rainforest floor and it is our mission to help the fairies and elves living at Otway Fly to find their very own fairy home.
