Planted in 1936 by Victorian foresters for experimental purposes, the redwoods are now protected and make for a stunning oddity nestled in the middle of the Otways Rainforest.
There are picnic benches and a public toilet, but camping is not permitted.
This location can be very busy at peak times due to it's proximity to the great ocean road.
The Redwoods are also located near Hopetoun Falls and Beauchamp Falls, which are also a must-visit while in the region.

The Redwoods Otways is a stunning forest of Californian Redwoods in the Great Otway National Park, The Redwoods were planted in 1936 as an experiment by the Victorian government to test different types of timber plantations. The Redwoods are the tallest trees in the world, growing up to 115 meters high. The ones in the Otways are not that tall yet, but they could eventually outgrow the ones in California.
