ANCIENT RAINFORESTS AWAIT YOU
Lavers Hill is located centrally on the Great Ocean Road journey in the heart of the Otways rainforest and just 30 minutes drive from the 12 Apostles. There are numerous great places to eat, drink and stay.
Lavers Hill is situated on the Great Ocean Road between Port Campbell and Apollo Bay, on the inland section of the road, north-west of Cape Otway, and at the junction of the roads to Cobden and Colac.
The town centre caters well for tourists, featuring a number of cafes, a pub with a bistro, and tourist information. The landmark wood sculpture at the junction of the Great Ocean Road and Colac Road is the "Drift", which is a tribute to the marine environment, prehistoric skeletal finds, shipwrecks and the agricultural machinery of the area, designed by artist James Catell.
Lavers Hill is an area noted for scenic beauty with the Great Otway National Park surrounding much of the town.
MELBA GULLY
The Melba Gully section, located just south of the town centre boasts ancient rainforests during the day and glow worm viewing on trails at night. Perhaps the most unusual inhabitants of the area are the glow worms, which can be seen at night along the walking tracks.
The 35 minute Madsen's Track Nature Walk departs from the picnic area, providing an adventure into a world of ancient, mossy trees and cool fern gullies.
