Where you can go for a walk between the trees and go ziplining.
Lighthouse under setting sun.
You'll find this beauty just inland from Great Ocean Road in Otway National Park.  Beauchamp Falls pictured here isn't far from Hopetoun Falls which makes them both perfect to visit on the same day.  A walking track leads you through magnificent Mountain Ash forests, with ancient Myrtle Beeches, large Blackwoods and thick ferns until you finally arrive to see these spectacular falls crashing over a ledge into a large pool. 

I positioned myself behind some old mossy logs to the side of the clearing below the falls and some nice soft light filtered through the trees creating this beautiful scene 😍
