About Melba Gully State Park
The Melba Gully State Park was formed to protect a small pocket of temperate rainforest in the Otway Ranges near Apollo Bay, Victoria, Australia. The 48-hectare (120-acre) park is extremely valuable as one of the few pockets of natural old-growth Otway Ranges rainforests to survive the logging and subsequent fires, making it a crucial resource for the efforts to regenerate the original Otway Ranges rainforests. The park now forms part of the Great Otway National Park. The gully has a dense cover of myrtle beech (Nothofagus cunninghamii), blackwood (Acacia melanoxylon) and tree-ferns, with an understorey of low ferns and mosses.
