Melba Gully State Park

Melba Gully State Park contains 48 hectares of dense temperate rainforest with myrtle beech trees, blackwood trees, and abundant tree ferns.

The park, established in 1978, remains one of the few sections of original Otway Ranges rainforest that survived extensive logging operations and fires.

Parks Victoria manages this natural reserve to maintain the ecological balance while providing educational opportunities about native rainforest ecosystems.

Visitors can access the main 35-minute Madsens Track Nature Walk and use the basic picnic facilities within the designated day visitor area.

Bioluminescent larvae of fungus gnats illuminate the stream banks and walking tracks at night, creating natural light displays.
