The Otway Range is a beautiful natural forest and bushland paradise that has attracted 4 wheel drivers for decades. Although the tracks are not as hard core as they once were, they still provide great 4 wheel driving, particularly tracks like Denhams, Cowley and Harvey are well worth giving a go. Being close to major towns like Anglesea, Aireys Inlet, Lorne, Apollo Bay and Colac, makes venturing into this area advantageous. The range is criss-crossed with major roads that enable access to all these tracks, if gates are open. The pristine, dense vegetation of fern trees, eucalypts and lush undergrowth intersected with creeks, rivers and waterfalls offer weeks of exploration to experience and tests your ability at driving this magnificent area of Victoria.
