Lorne is known as the jewel in the crown in terms of the quality and diversity of the bushwalks in the Great Otway National Park. Known as the area where the “Mountains Meet the Sea” walks take in many features such as water falls, caves, lush rainforest rich in ferns, many of these walks are conducted along original logging tracks from the early 1900's.
